man v horse.

a couple of us have been lucky enough to be asked to help out with the marshalling at the man v horse race held yearly at llanwrtyd wells.the weather was once again incredible and we looked forward to two 22 mile laps of a cracking course.in the end we did far more cos runners got lost and we had to double back and look for them.in the process we rode all sorts of places one wouldn't normally be allowed to and marvelous it was too.unfortunately it meant i didn't have time for lots of pics of the trails so i'll just put a couple up to give you a flavour.

the start.
