Snowdon Race over! Cracking weather in Snowdonia this weekend. 62:50 (no walking) to the summit and 38 minutes descent (no walking); not quite what it says in the results because on the descent I managed to help an Irish Runner that fell and hit her throat on a jug shaped rock; de Ja Vue for me! She's fine by the way. Snowdon Race is now a bit 'Chavy' with lots of drunken youths from the surronding area and a bit of a car-boot on the field, there was a heavy Police prescence with stab vests and CCTV vans. The international contingent were home grown, Wales, Scotland et. al., Probably one to miss from now on. Managed the same run on Sunday: 70 mins to the top (no walking) and a 40 minute descent (no walking) after scavenging drinks from the fantastic summit cafe. If you go you HAVE to go to Steff's www.snowdoncafe.com .
