Seriously hot yesterday, and more of the same today in the Rhinogydd.

Anyone else having problems with map detail on day 2 when zooming in closer? 

No, it seems to be working ok for me

Ah, that's the Rhinogydd for you. Difficult to see your feet, let alone find a decent path...

ps. no, everything is fine on my devices.

pps. really hot again, but a strong breeze at times on the tops. Like being in a fan oven.

Saw a few of them going over Tryfan yesterday, it was flipping hot

Probably the hottest of the week so far... Brecon Beacons east to west today. Hard going.

Sorry, west to east. Heat is getting to me...🤦‍♂️

The Dragon’s Back does seem to have an uncanny knack of timing as far as heatwaves are concerned. Am I right in thinking that the last two years have featured unseasonably warm weather?

They do seem to attract extreme weather. This week has been incredibly hot for September and some amazing runs were done. Interesting to note that there were 4 females in the overall top 10 with Robyn claiming 3rd overall. Smashed it!  https://results.opentracking.co.uk/event/dragonsbackrace2023

Shit. I’m already signed up for next year…better not be like this, I don’t do hot weather!
