ORGANISER'S REPORT

Thank you all for coming to the first Nant y Moch Skyline Race. Dave Ormerod and I had long felt that the Plynlimon hills deserve a fell race, and last summer we finally got round to doing something about it. Those of you who felt that the course was quite long enough as it was might like to know that the first route we test-ran was even longer, with yet another hill!

Times were slower than we anticipated, due in part no doubt to the heat; it's not often I hear people at the finish of a fell race saying how much they appreciated the wind and rain; I don't suppose you'd have been saying that if the evening thunderstorms had arrived 6 hours earlier - we still can't quite believe our good luck.

Congratulations to all the prizewinners, but in particular to super-vet John Marsh on coming a very close second overall, and to veteran Victoria Musgrove on being first woman finisher. I apologise to those involved for making a mess of the allocation of one of the prizes. No doubt there were other shortcomings in my organisation, and I'd appreciate any feedback - criticism even! - which would help us to improve the race.

We're very grateful to all the landowners, graziers and shepherds who allowed us to hold the race:

Thanks to marshalls Nev and Mary Roberts (who also did registration) and Rob Davies, and to Anne for "sweeping" up the control markers as she went round.

Finally we'd like to thank our Race President, Erwyd Howells, not only for presenting the prizes, but also for giving his time, his enthusiasm, and his knowledge of Plynlimon so generously to our sport.

The race made a small profit, which we shall be donating to the local primary school in Ponterwyd.

We hope you enjoyed yourselves, and that you'll tell your friends what wonderful hills we have here in Mid Wales. Bring them along to the second Râs Nant y Moch - provisional date Saturday 24th June 2000.
