Congratulations to Despina Berdeni who, after having been battered by trying conditions on the previous attempt, has completed her BG in an impressive 20:16.

Congratulations too to Euan Patton who this week broke Mike Blake’s famous 34 year record for the Tryfan Downhill Dash. (From Adam and Eve to the A5 by any route. No parachutes etc!) His time? An astonishing 7 minutes 21 seconds. There is a YouTube video, with an understandable amount of camera shake, here – which his mother probably shouldn’t watch!
Euan Patton and Mike Blake.
