Machen Mountain 10k
27/08/2010 by Vanessa.
A reminder of Monday’s 10k which is also the August club championship race and the last counter in the South Wales fell series. (the latter interests fewer than 10 runners in the club so don’t worry if you don’t have a clue what it means. Just come and run anyway)
Starts at 3pm in Machen, near Caerphilly. Meet at LC at 1.30 to share cars.
If you want to make your own way then the postcode I believe is CF83 8QD - well, this is the postcode of the organiser who lives in Machen. It’s not a big place so no doubt it will be fairly clear where to go once you get to Machen village. 26miles from Chepstow per the AA website, 35 mins drive. Below is a link showing the start on a map.

Can enter on the day at £7.50.
Re footwear, don’t ask coz I don’t know. I guess off road shoes but I don’t know if fell shoes are an advantage or whether road shoes are a disadvantage. If in doubt take several pairs and see what everyone else is wearing when you get there. That’s what I’ll be doing.
See you there!!!! Weather looks good too - bonus!!!!!

Mynydd Troed Recce Leave Sat 8.30
01/04/2010 by Dick.
(We’re leaving LC at 8.30 Saturday for the MT recce – no takers for Cotswolds)
With only two weeks left to the Mynydd Troed race, and Offa’s Orror next Sunday, for many people this weekend will be the last opportunity to run round the M T course (we’ve also offered a Cotswold Way Relay run in the Week Ahead blog, and that offer still stands).
I was thinking Saturday might be the best day for the MT recce, but if there’s more demand for Sunday…
We’ll be taking it at a very steady pace and it will give people a chance to test out their footwear - and time to buy some fell shoes if they feel they would do better with them. A lot of cross-country runners use fell shoes now, so you can justify the cost if you plan to do the LCL/Gwent League in future.
The race HQ, the Castle Inn at Pengeffordd (nr Crickhowell), is a nice pub with good ales, coffee and food, and we had a nice relaxing time after the first recce.
So please come along and sample the delights of the Black Mountains. Post a reply below and let us know what you want to do, or call Dick on 01291 627569.
