A splendid evening after a showery and changeable week: the weather stabilised just in time for this. Left Cwm Maen Gwynedd with Neil at 5.30 for the steep pull up Mynydd Tarw, 19 minutes from the car. Then good ridge running, although very boggy, over the Foel Wen and Tomle tops to the contouring path at Ffordd Gam Elin. Nipped over to Cadair Bronwen, all at good pace, then superb continuous running along the ridge with excellent far-reaching views down to Shropshire and up to central Snowdonia. Very green after all the rain, and boggy even on the main ridge. Moel Sych is always boggy, despite its name, and today was no exception. From here, we nipped along the very narrow path above Llyn Lluncaws and straight down to Maen Gwynedd: 2:15 for the complete circuit, quite a good pace. Followed this run with the full run up Moel Famau next day (ie this evening). Combined with an 11 mile Hope Mountain run on Monday, intervals on Tuesday, and the 10k on Wednesday, it feels like a fuller week for a change.
