Today sees a very early start for the sixth day of the journey through Wales for the Queen’s Baton’s journey towards The Commonwealth Games in Glasgow. At 6.00am the day begins when members of the Eryri running club will relay run up to the top of the most iconic mountain in Wales, Snowdon, let’s hope they are kitted out correctly with the right running clothing for today’s conditions, before making its way to Beaumaris, Llanberis and Caernarfon during the day.

The baton is to make its way up Snowdon in one mile legs for the runners, before being handed to Sir David Brailsford, the man in charge of Team Sky and former chief of British cycling who was actually born locally. Later in the day Alex Jones, presenter of BBC’s The One Show will be given the honour of taking the baton for a leg, with the last leg of the day being run by the local mayor.

But we are getting slightly ahead of the game, as after Snowdon the baton will make its way onto the Isle of Anglesey to Beaumaris, but on the Menai Bridge it will make a stop on the set of Welsh language drama “Rownd a Rownd”, before being taking by boat along the Strait to the National Watersports Centre at Plas Menai.

Cyclists will then take it back towards Snowdon where a team of kayakers will race a train as it carries the baton around Llyn Padarn, which a venue for the Commonwealth Games back in 1958. This leg then ends in Caernarfon and gives the local mayor a chance to appear on national television as the One Show plan to broadcast tonight’s edition from the Victoria Dock.

So if you are in this area of Wales today, why not pop down and give them your support as they wind their way around one of the scenic parts of the country.
