*** Final details UPDATED TUESDAY 19th ***
- The Long course has two river crossings. As of Tuesday morning they were crossable with care. More rain is forecast. There is a longer route option via the bridge. The planner will make the final decision on Thursday afternoon whether the bridge option will be mandated.
- The bracken and other vegetation is growing, but not so as to impede running.
- A few cattle may be encountered on the courses. They have been docile and ignored the planner.
- All courses cross the narrow minor road to Watendlath, but there is usually very little traffic of an evening.
- The woods are looking glorious at the moment. See you Thursday.
- PS please remember to car share and make use of the Ashness bridge car park and walk/jog up the road to registration.
