Llyn y Fan. Almost another mystery location, as most of us have never heard of the place. Research shows it in South Wales, somewhere. Most likely near some lake. But it’s the final race in the Inov8 Open Welsh Fell Race Championships, and our intrepid explorer reports:- “This was out the back and beyond, and a pain to get to, to put it mildy, but once there an absolutely superb course made even more brilliant by blue skies and no wind. I’d have preferred to go round 3 or 4 more times, but sadly only one lap, and a day for sprinters and youngsters.”
Results. John Hunt was round in 47.38, 10th. That makes John 1st V40 and official Welsh Champion, following the footsteps of a previous holder, Joe Blackett.
Tour of Pendle – Saturday 23rd November. “There
is a strict limit of 500 runners for the event so pre-entry is advised
to be sure of avoiding disapointment on the day (Plus it’s cheaper &
you’ve more chance of a t-shirt!)”
Entry List. well past 420.
A
reminder that club runners aren’t allowed past CP9 without suitable
abuse to be hurled at the marshal, on a hitherto undisclosed, maybe
unvisited? knoll.
