Club 10 – 8th May 2019

Llanberis 2019. The maelstrom. The sunsh...
Reading Time: 3 minutesWhere does one start to describe the Llanberis weekend this year? Madness? Possibly. A little bit wet? Maybe.

There was even the sound of a Skylark over the fields near Little Leigh. Not a sound you would usually hear until March. It was bright, warmer than usual, with a brisk, but not […]
Dagfields, Mills, Hailstones and sunshin...
Reading Time: 4 minutesThis was the scene at the club this morning, with ‘not as many as expected’ given that it’s just over a month to Llanberis. Either way, there were enough eager souls turning up to do a couple of runs, and the majority took off towards Ruthin, although most muttered about Loggerheads so that was to […]
