Ok if I join in?

Just sent my cheque, booked a travelodge in Bangor for the Friday night. Only £26!

Ran this for the first time last year. Glorious sunshine and scenery that was so beautiful I thought I had reached heaven!

Can't remember my time, INXS of five hours. But did not give a jot. Going to train properly this year and try and get under 4.30. My pb is 3.58 but I dont think that will be under threat here!

How steep is Waunfawr and does it really last 3 miles ?? Have kicked off my hill training but be good to know how close I can get to it - some steep hills round here but generally only around 1-1.5 miles long. Am sure I have been round that area on bike / foot / car but not for a long time so can't picture it.

Collie- cheers for info. I think I will do Belper. Just need to find out about cut off times.

MP- My brother was on the footie too this weekend. Shifts eh. Rhyme with something else when it comes to training. No way could I do anything after 12 hours on my feet!

I'm up for it this year for the third time - and looking for a Snowdonia pb - which is somewhat perversely my pb as it's the only marathon I've run - althouugh that is a bit strong with regard to Waunfawr - remember seeing it the first time and thinking - 'i'm just going to plod gently on and pass all those folk who are walking - oh I'm walking too!'. However if you're prepared to fly then the descent to Llanberis is steep enough to gain the odd minute!

Taffy,-
In my experience theydon't confirm by e mail. I just checked my bank statement for confirmation.
if you are worried, just e mail the organisers. They are a friendly crew.

Re Belper: I have received a friendly e mail fron the organisers, there is no cut iff time, the race is open to both walkers and runners.
