Richard Collyer travelled to North Wales for the Snowdonia 7 fell race. This is advertised as a fell running event though very little running is involved, however there is a lot of climbing, scrambling, swearing and falling over. Snowdonia Seven takes competitors to seven of the peaks in the Snowdonia National Park. This journey is approximately 22 miles in length, involves nearly 8000 feet of ascent and must be done in less than 10 hours to compete the challenge successfully. Of the 60 teams that started the event over a third dropped out during the race or did not finish with all 4 members. Richard and the rest of his team finished the event in 8 hours 20 minutes taking 43 minutes from their time of last year.
