Also looks like he had a little nav wobble leaving Pen yr Ole Wen but caught it before any real damage was done. He is now heading for the last peak of the Paddy (Pen Llithrig y Wrach) and should be finished just before 9am for a sub-22 hour round.

flyingfinn Aug 2020 8:45am, 17 Aug 2020 2,126 posts	Quote Pin flyingfinn I think so too RH. Given the weather here this morning I certainly wouldn't be looking forward to a day on the bike if I was in his shoes. It will be a pretty grim day I suspect. He is certainly going to get the full British summer weather experience.
_andy Aug 2020 9:39am, 17 Aug 2020 10,909 posts	Quote Pin _andy I was also wondering at the interesting splits for Tryfan ff. Must a have been an interesting night out there. The planned 15 minute split from Tryfan summit to Ogwen valley looked pretty aggressive in the dark too (guessing that's normal for a PB round?) My Tryfan memories were pre-running, with the eight pitches Grooved Arete (lovely V Diff***) being well remembered more than once, with a much slower pootle back down to Glan Dena in the valley.
