Practical Info
Enter the forest at the Heckbarley Gate (on the Cold Fell Road, top of the steep hill up from Ennerdale towards Calderbridge).
Drive, walk, or cycle just over 1 mile up the forest road to registration and parking.
Please do not park along the main forest road, as it is used by both agricultural and forestry vehicles.
There is parking off the bend 150m before registration, or carry on and park as directed after registration.

- A rare opportunity to run on a (much updated) John Slater map from 2008.
- The terrain is all open fell. It's all runnable, but a bit tussocky at the far end.
- The Easy and the Red courses can be run all on paths and tracks, though each course has a couple of controls a few metres off the path.
- White on the map is rough open fell.
