Practical Info
Parking and Assembly will be in a field at GR NY 380 219. Fee £2 (tbc) per vehicle. If you’re bringing a mini bus please call the organiser before the event. Bigger vehicles cannot be accommodated.
Directions - turn South off the A66 at Troutbeck onto the A5091 towards Dockray and Ullswater. Take 2nd Right, after approx 2 miles, onto minor road signposted Dowthwaitehead. The parking field is a further 1.7 miles along this minor road.
The event will be signed from the A66 at Troutbeck.
If approaching from Ullswater, follow A5091 North and turn Left in Dockray just before the Royal Hotel. Follow minor road uphill for approx 1 mile.
Please supervise youngsters on the public road.
Registration & Start - are close to Assembly but there may be a longer walk from your car if you arrive later and verge parking is being used. By the way, you will meet Sue on Registration. It is her birthday on Sunday! Perhaps you could wish her Happy Birthday?
Update 22/10 The event is "on" for tomorrow and the field will be used for parking so you can approach from Ullswater, via Dockray, in addition to the main approach from the North. Note that there are no O signs in Dockray.
For approach from the North please note that a timber lorry (I'm assured it's only one) is scheduled to remove a load sometime on Sunday. It doesn't affect parking but if you meet it on the last 1.7miles of single track road, squeezing past could be very tricky. If you can see that the narrow road is congested it's probably worth carrying on down to Dockray and turning Right just after the Royal Hotel (no O sign).
Update 18/10 For Final Information Sheet click HERE. You will be handed a copy of this information at the event with your pink registration card. The sheet includes safety instructions for the event - please read before you run,

Please check here on Saturday evening to confirm event is going ahead and whether all traffic must approach from the North.
