Llanferres circuit

Another long run, this time in perfect conditions of powdery snow and constant sunshine. Left Llanferres for the Druid race route up Foel Fenlli, then contouring round to Penbarras and back over the summit. Great running through the sun-drenched snowfields down to Clwyd Gate before continuing south along Offa's Dyke via the base of Moel Gyw and Moel Llanfair, along to the steep climb up and over Moel y Plas (my favourite section of the Clwydians). We continued past Moel y Gelli to pick up the path north to Llyn Gweryd and down to Llanarmon. From here, we ran along the slushy backroads back to Llanferres. A family sledging trip on Waun y Llyn was a nice warm down in the afternoon.
