Clwydian run (Clwyd Gate-Nant y Garth)

A promising hill run this morning, in claggy, humid conditions. Felt good, surprisingly, so a good confidence boost for the 1000s next Saturday. Started from Llanarmon yn Ial intending to run over the tops of the six peaks between Clwyd Gate and Nant y Garth. Ran up to the Garreg Lwyd col, then up and down Moel Gyw. Then over Boncyn Banhadlen to the summit of Moel Llanfair, down the splendidly situated track (east) to join the OD path, breaking off again to run to the summit of Moel y Plas. Then excellent running along OD over the shoulder of Moel y Gelli, to the steep road east of Moel y Waun. Up to the summit of this hill too, then along the ridge to Moel yr Accre and back to the road via Brenhinlle Fawr. Then took the bridleway back via Llyn Gweryd to Llanarmon.
