IOWRR Mick Coultrup travelled to Wales to participate in Ras y Gader, the Cader Idris mountain race, one of the toughest fell races in Wales.
The event starts and finishes in the market town of Dolgellau, at sea level, and climbs almost 3000ft to the summit of Pen y Gader . One of the real challenges of the race is the constantly changing terrain, switching from steep metalled roads to flat tracks behind Gwernan lake, pitched steps up the Pony Path, and the boulder fields on the final ascent – turn around and do it all again on the descent!
