Castles Relay 2016


Well another fantastic castles weekend is over. Safe to say we were never more than a few minutes away from complete disaster with a number of ups and downs over the weekend.

Thanks to Laurence and Nick for driving the bus over the weekend to cart all the runners around, and thank you also to Jo, Mike, Helen, Sarah, Hayley, Rhiannon, Graham, Bridgette, Iestyn, Emma and Fiona for doing our marshalling duties to help the event go ahead.

We did fantastically well as a team and everyone gave it everything! We finished 8th out of 64 teams (an improvement of 2 places over last year) in a time of 22 hours 38 minutes (a 9 minute improvement from last year). We also closed the gap on Aberdare to just 11 minutes.

Hopefully we will be back there next year, still improving!
