Man V Mountain Race. Trail race 4 miles short of Marathon up Mt Snowdon, Wales
In September I completed Man v Mountain. A trail race up Mt Snowdon 4 miles short of a marathon starting from Caernarfon Castle at sea level running up Mt Snowdon and then down into Llanberis village for some Rat Race water fun.
The week before the race my mandatory kit was upgraded to full waterproof kit. The morning of the race mountain rescue delayed the start and on inspection decided the race route need to be re-routed as there were 45 mile winds at the summit with 60 mile winds forecast.
.......And it was scary, windy, wet on the summit but I loved every minute of it. Wet, mud, rocks, bogs, bridges, food stations with cups of tea and plenty of Jaffa cakes 😂.
Pure trail adventure with a little "Rat Race" fun at the end with a few dunks in the lakes and swim across the river to finish.
