High winds, road closures and an overhead power cable breakage close to the start/finish area resulting in, no electric in the summit complex and moving the u/17 and19 starts, did not prevent 3 records being broken in the North Wales Junior Mountain Running Championships on the Great Orme at Llandudno, and all by the young ladies! 

The first record to go was to Enya Maguire, 18 sec in the U 11 girls, next was Daisy McVicar, 2nd o/a out of 21 and 30 sec in the U 13'S. last but not least was Lola Corrales, whose father Michael Low Corrales Mills, best known for his 5 victories in the Tryfan Dash, took 2 sec off the U 9 girls time. 

Big thanks to all those who helped especially Ann and Sharon for coping with my scribbles, to Ron Jones for once again allowing the use of the complex, The Welsh Fell Runners Association, Eryri Harriers, and to John Oldfield for bringing 90% of Bryn Coch School,Mold, to compete. 

Thanks, 

Mike Blake.
