Rhobell Fawr race next week, so we had a recie late on friday afternoon. No wind and the top of Rhobell Fawr was nearly poking out of the cloud. The navigation for the race looks straightforward following the wall until nearly at the summit, provided you don't get the wrong summit. A good hill to do at night given the large stone handrail on the 2nd half and the big wide paths on the 1st half.
School in Llanfachreth which you park next to has only 16 pupils left (had a quick chat with the head teacher who was heading home and asked if I was spying the route of next weeks race) and is on the threatened list. I predict an outcome similar to the primary school in our village, it will be a private house or houses within 5 years, matter what local people think or want.
Earlier in the week did 2 laps of the Dragons Back near Nant-Y-Arian, Saturday spent putting up scaffolding (very good upper body and core training, tired after) and 5 miles over local hills on Sunday.
Only 2 more races planned this year, next weeks Raw Rhobell Fawr and the Cardington Cracker. After a poor showing last year at the Cracker on my part due to a stomach bug. 1.52.12 compared to 1.42.30 in 2009, I need to do some hard work before then and should be able to get under 1.40 this year.
