Déjà vu at the front of this year’s Llyn y Fan as the 2011 winners, brothers Felipe and Andres Jones from Aberystwyth, again took the first two places. The weather was mild and dry underfoot with some mist on the tops, and there was no obvious explanation for the low turnout of 21, with just three women.

Sarn Helen’s Daniel Hooper took third followed by first M40 Richard Johnson of Mynydd Du.
Sasha Habgood just headed Sharon Woods in the women’s race, but with no sign of the remaining lady after all the others had finished, Race Organiser John Sweeting sent out a search party who finally rounded up the lost sheep making her way to the finish from an unexpected direction. Grateful thanks to all who kindly went back out on the mountain.
