Help me to choose a course
On the Easy course, please note:
- There is one control that is visited twice.
- There is also one section where there is a choice between taking a more direct route along a stream, or a slightly longer option along two paths.
All courses start about 100m from registration. All courses finish near registration.
Terrain The area will be familiar to most members:
– Open fell with plenty of contour detail, some crags and numerous marshy areas.
- A number of the walls are marked as uncrossable (purple) – please use the marked crossing points.
- The most direct lines will try to avoid any dangerously craggy areas, but do exercise caution.
- The area is high and exposed, so do take note of the weather and prepare accordingly.
Important Safety Notes:
- You must come and register before starting your run and you must return to registration to download even if you retire from your course.
- If you travelled to the event alone, you must state this at registration or leave your car keys.
- Please come prepared for bad weather and carry a whistle.
