'Bontddu Base'




Geoff clearly up to no good!

Apparently the collective noun for a group of Mountain Rescue volunteers is a "wait".




This little piggy went to market....







Keith seeing the teams of before heading to 'No Place Like Gnome' to start his own run at Ridge 2.

100m from the cars and it turns uphill with a vengance. 'Baptism of Fire'




There are few things in life that are not improved by a Collie with a stick...even if he does insist on laying down in front of the bike.










Some slight rutting of the trail evident in places. Luke and Paul on 'Baptism of Fire'




The 'Pinch Point'.

Adrian coming home having completed the full loop, and having got soaked in the last 10 minutes of the ride.

Well done. Have a stick.

Tea and medals

The support crew would have you believe they suffered unending hardships.....

...but the reality.....

...was a little....
