Clwydian loop

Unable to exploit the climbing conditions in Snowdonia, so contented myself with this early morning run from Llanferres. The beautiful cold and sunny weather we've had all week changed to driving sleet as I left the car, improving my mood no end. Got up an icy Foel Fenlli in 20 mins, then enjoyed excellent snowy running down to Clwyd Gate, then up the OD path (some drifts) to the shoulder of Moel Gyw and down to Llanarmon in another sleet shower. From here, I did an extended road 'interval' back to Llanferres. Felt slightly tired towards the end, perhaps a result of a similar eight-mile loop of Waun y Llyn and Hope Mountain last night.
