"This felling site is riddled with challenges – with steep slopes working, above a public road, above powerlines, being primary concerns/challenges. It is highly likely that NRW will need to officially close off Crafnant Car Park & the toilets during felling operations, especially in the sections nearest the car park, due to site being within the risk zones of falling trees, also if any trees were to run away, and chain-shot risk zone should the felling chain of a harvester machine break.  So for safety reasons we would need to exclude public from those risk zones. NRW apologise for any inconvenience." / Please note for the 100 mile race, 1 further diversion is in place.  Please see the relevant notes on the 100 mile race page and gpx. / GB Ultras welcome ultra-runners to the remarkable Snowdonia National Park and the beautiful village of Betws-y-Coed (translated as 'Prayer in the woods' in Welsh) for the 4th Edition of Snowdon Ultra®! / Runners follow the Snowdonia Slate Trail past Swallow Falls to the foot of the Snowdonia mountains where the legendary Dragons await! / With 2785m of ascent, mountain trails lead to Heather Terrace on Tryfan, Snowdon Summit, Glyder Fach and Glyder Fawr, Devil's Kitchen and Llyn Idwal before taking in the fantastic trails beside Llyn Crafnant and Llyn Geirionydd!
