Snowdonia Marathon - October 27th

It's mostly on road and 'only' a marathon but one of my pals has had to drop, his race number is therefore available along with 2 nights accm (basic self catering in llanberis, sleeps 3-4, if someone takes the number it will be 4).

If you fancy it drop me a line, number and accm free, number needs to be transferred before 30th Sept.

I love the way it's "only a marathon" and we all know exactly what you mean LOL

If you hadn't said the dreaded "road" word I might have been tempted....

Would love to but I'll be doing final training weekend of pilates course. Love Snowdonia ... Welsh 3000s is a worthy challenge for mid-summer ...

Lou was panicking about hanging on for 26 miles - I did point out that we shouldn't have crashed at the first mile!!!

Alistair: Has your spare Snowdonia place been taken? If it's still available I would be interested in joining you. Struggling for motivation after the Ridgeway last month so this could be just the thing to get me going again.

Shawk: No definite takers, one enquiry through an inmail, they were slightly quicker on the drawer so to speak as such have 'dibs', I have mailed them and asked them to confirm yes / no and will let you know.
