She’s had her baby so game on . Although hasn’t Jim already got his golden ticket? So surely its young vs old now ;-).

tough…

I attempted it in 2023 and it was the first official year of the Hatchling course, I’ve got to say that while being disappointed not to be able to complete the full course the Hatchling option was fantastic and I had an amazing week, still bloody tough though, especially as it was the ‘hot’ year.

Seeing your pictures leaving Conwy has given me the shivers!!!

I’m not sure if this will work but this was my view back towards Conwy from just below the first checkpoint on day 1.

I thought I’d do my pics on the recce to save a few seconds on the race, as I might be racing the cutoffs.

I’ve now booked on one of the official recces of the technical bits on day 1 as I know I lost the route up Tryfan.

Looks like Jim won Chianti by a good margin - Kilian and Vincent battling for second

Fiona Pascal (I assume sister of Beth) is leading the women in what looks like a fairly tight race
