A wet wales welcome!

So it's now 8:30 the night before Challenge 10 the Snowdonia Marathon and the wind is howling outside and the rain is lashing down!

But at least I'm inside and all being well it will blow over by tomorrow morning, I can at least dream!

If the prospect of the hills, wind and rain weren't enough to worry about getting here was a challenge in itself!

After 7 boring hours stuck in the car with only my bad singing to keep me company I made it to Llanberis to get my race number.

Pretty much all of the journey was baked in sunshine that was until I crossed the boarder where I was greeting by an almighty storm with lightening flashing all around me!

By the time I got to the registration it had started to brighten up although still very windy and raining!

I headed of to the youth hostel and on route there was a slight break in the clouds.

Well this is my first experience of a youth hostel and to be fair it's not too bad although I'm not sure how comfortable this bad boy is going to be but at least I got the bottom bunk!

I'm fed and watered so it's off to bed  now to get a bit of sleep before to big race tomorrow!
