New summer evening day-light format. Same route as before and fully marked as usual.
Ideal beginners race.
The terrain underfoot is mostly close cropped grass so it'll be fast. The route does not actually go to the summit trig point and so avoids any rocky sections. 

The route is very nearly a reversal of old the Mynydd Pen Y Fal route (Ed Dickson). It starts from the car park and soon starts to ascend the Mynydd Llanwenarth ridge. We turn right (east) under the loaf and contour to the start of the Rholben Ridge. A sharp turn left (north) and now starts the main ascent, all run-able by most. We eventually pass the summit to the north and join the Mynyydd Pen Y Fal ridge. Then follows a fast grassy descent down the ridge. When we hit the track a sharp turn left leads to the small stream crossing of Cwm Gwenffrwd. Up the bank opposite along the tree line and then back to the car park. 

We will use chip timing again this year as it makes it so much easier to igenerate results quickly.  Please make sure your chip and number is not hidden under any clothes at the finish. Clothing inhibits the RFID signal transmission from mat to chip. This will be a 'gun to chip' race - meaning that the time will start ticking from the shout 'GO', not when you cross the start.  
The plan is to retire to the pub after for inclusive snacks and prize presentation - Lamb and Flag.
The upper car park fornthe race, has limited spaces so car sharing is advised - it will be possible to park at the pub and share lifts up to the car park. This would be the best option too for nervous drivers as the road to the car park is narrow and reversing is likely.
