Nant y moch Skyline

A bit of a blast from the past here with the race running the route around nantymoch dam, which 15 years ago we used to slam our motocross bikes on. Horrendous weather greeted a strong welsh champs field. Nice and steady to start with 14 miles and 5kft of climbing it was going to be a long one. Kept at it for the first 1hr and enjoying the zero directions and free running on the hills. Last climb included plumlimon which decided to hit us hardest with its wind, lost touch with a group at the top and then with a hunch I saw a fence and decided that's the one I wanted to follow, 100m before I would have seen the last checkpoint. Having got lost and realised it I walked the last mile in the waist high grass. Could have been a gd day but a great experience none the less.
