LLANYMYNECH

[BroadfordQueen]

Mum has given me the go ahead to research into JRN's (this is my final year as a junior!).
I have looked at the calender and wanted to do one around June time, and the closest one is Llanymynech in Shropshire.

The boss (mum) said that if all goes well at my next few events (2 PNs and a pony club open), I can enter

So am just doing my research into JRNs etc.

Just a few questions-
1. Has anyone been? What's the novice course like? Course description says up to height but straightforward and inviting- do you agree?
2. How do you pronounce it?

3. Anyone have any pics?

Thank you,
a very excited BroadfordQueen

yes, it's a nice track. not done it for a few years but i doubt it's changed that much.
i think it's pronounced something like lan-a-mee-neck but could be totally wrong!

dont know about the track but its pronounced clan-y-mun-ach

Don't forget you have apply to your nearest region to qualify for JRNs

Hi. Can't help on the pronunciation (thanks mrogers, i've been saying it wrong for years!) but as its (relatively) local have been there the lasy 3 yrs. I think its a fab track, well built and flat so fitness not a prob. BUT - it has been beefed up more and more each yr (mayb cos of nrf there?) and last yr was v technical - think doubles of corners, skinny to step down to box skinny to skinny on an angle, bank with a bounce - so if technicality is a strength of urs go for it...and if not maybe still do as it IS lovely and there are (massively time consuming) long routes some places....plus, you get to jump a welsh dragon when u cross the border! Hope that helps and good luck!

Very flat course. pretty straight forward! couple of bigger squarer kick on type box fences otherwise I think its rather boring...- perhaps now its oli townends local track they will snazz it up abit more..?

Clan-ee-man-ek is how ive been told to pronounce it. xx
