Day three - barmouth to beyond!!!!

You were all wondering why runningforsol went dark at 32 miles. This was not for stealth reasons! The weather closed in overnight and snow, by the bucket, landed in our path. The run went well and everyone was feeling good . We hit Machynlleth in high spirits and started to tackle the mountain pass over to llanidloes. Between mile 33 and 34 it became impassable. The miles before had been waist deep snow at 1700 feet with thick horizontal snow fall- what were we thinking! Just when the situation was getting desperate up popped our heroes John and Mya. They took us off the ridge in into the warmth of their beautiful home. What might have happened without their kindness we dread to think. We cannot thank them enough - a true kindness.

As fate would have had it Matt was only round the corner and had set out to look for us (no phone signals!!) but a miss is as good as a mile. Curry in and a great nights sleep has helped no end. We start again with 8 miles to make up. Welcome to Tim and David who join us for the day.

Here we go!
