Rhayader Mountain Trail

At the moment I'm too tired to talk about the 30 miles of rain and bog misery I have experienced today in Wales.

I'll post the story in the next post. Sound navigation skills definately needed. I'm home now because I had my GPS (imagine mile after mile of desolate bog, moor and marsh with no visible paths in low cloud and all-day rain). Only 7 people including me out of almost 100 were back after over 9 hours (6 were 43 milers, I was the first and only 29 miler to return so far too). The others who finished were very experienced and had 'reccied' the course in advance. A very tough day. More tomorrow.
