The route start's with two laps of the school field, about 800/900 mtrs, out onto the road, down hill to about 1.3/4 miles, slight hill, down again and undulating until 3.1/4 miles, then up a 25% plus hill, down a farm track, through a quarry, past the 4 mile marker, 500 mtrs down hill on road, then along an old railway track, to just before 5 miles, then up hill, an very old farm track, through the farm and even more mud and track, one lap of the school field to the finish.
MM - I'm doing Sunday Aberdare along with Colin Anthony, Oakee, ?ABU, PD not sure who else and yes looking for a PB!!!! Not all plain sailing though with a subway to go under and a footbridge to climb!
MM61 - Good job you stayed with your son as you would not have got a laptop off me!
JD ....MM61 s right ,dont just pick races for a PB otherwise they will come back and bite you. You are flying at the moment so there are many more to come
PR5 you should have known i was upto something free bed & breakfaST then taken out to lunch then come away with a lop top total cost a £2.10 train ticket yes apart from that its down hill all the way
JD 6 yrs ago don,t time fly did u notice a certain dewi jones behind me wish i knew how u put here on forum & result pops up yes may have to plug in my old mouse
JD - I will claim it...!!! If its 10K its 10K. Did my first sub 40 there last year which give me confidence to do it at Ammanford straight after, and a couple of times since including Richard Burton 10K as well..! So get in there and get that PB . FL said to me once you go sub 40 you will wonder what was stopping you!!! I think its upstairs with us and the bit between our ears which hold us back - it was with me.

MM61- lol! Reckon around 44 would be good going.
There's always Aberdare though and a new PB
c u later got things to sort out on my lap top
MM61 thought you would be out there lurking
Shiraz and black pepper chicken casserole with creme fraiche,spuds and peas,washed down with a Pinot grigio blush
MM61- no sign of you in Silver Valley results- unless you were undercover
MM- are you interested in doing Aberdare? You'll get sub 40
MM61 I am not trying to beat your PB of races,just enjoying the racing and social side of it,
Running is great but continuous training can be tedious especially in the winter marathon months so i intend to enjoy the summer fun
JD just looked,it looks like too early a start for me,will probably go down west and get muddy
exspensive rip off with an overlarge t/s & its mostly down hill so can,t call that your pb
JD i did silver valley @least 5yrs ago
MM - I'm doing Sunday Aberdare along with Colin Anthony, Oakee, ?ABU, PD not sure who else and yes looking for a PB!!!! Not all plain sailing though with a subway to go under and a footbridge to climb!
MM61 - Good job you stayed with your son as you would not have got a laptop off me!
PR5- a subway and a footbridge and lots of downhill. I couldn't claim a PB there
MM- I'll be getting muddy too
free bed & breakfaST then taken out to lunch then come away with a lop top total cost a £2.10 train ticket

JD u nosey little so & so wat year was it i can,t remember yes you will have to go some to top that as theres a nasty slow off road section
