'Race': Nant y Pandy Parkrun (5k)
Time/Position: 19.39 (2nd from 38)
I had no idea that a delightful hidden valley lurked in the middle of Llangefni. It was reminiscent of Fairy Glen or Nant Gwynant and was a genuine surprise. We were on our annual trip to Henllys, so this was an ideal way for both of us to get a Saturday run in. The route takes the tightly defined wooded valley of the Cefni river before opening out to a broader valley with nice scenery. This was much more exposed, into a strong headwind, and leads eventually to the turn-around point on the shores of Llyn Cefni. One young runner was miles ahead, and I was effectively running on my own with the 3rd runner a fair way behind. The return was great, a slight tailwind, a few steep climbs and flowing descents. Not the quickest course, perhaps, but certainly one of the most enjoyable parkruns around.
