Do not park in pub car park. Car park will be signed from pub.

This year we are reverting to the fantastic original route:

This is a classic horseshoe route suitable for runners of all abilities (in good visibility).  It's all on defined paths much of which are 'improved'. The turn let and down west from the cairn from the top path near Pen Y Manllwyn is really only the non-obvious (and so relatively easy to miss) direction change) - but this will be marshalled so you won't go wrong. This turn, at an obvious and large cairn, leads you on to the well-known 'Dragons Back'.  3 marshals on the route at obvious turns.

There will be 3 hill marshals who will have first aid kits and radio contact. The start is in the same place in the lane behind the pub approx. 10mins walk. There will be refreshments at the HQ – tea, coffee water squash and cakes. Prizes will be available at the HQ - These can be collected if you need to leave early however there will be a presentation once everyone has finished..  

Prizes – 1st 2nd 3rd MF, 1st V40/50/60/70+ MF, Teams 3 to count MF.
