Notes:
General:  The area is used for the grazing of sheep and cattle, which may be present on the area during the event.  Please only cross fences at the marked crossing points.
Yellow Course:  The Yellow Course stays within the fenced areas towards the west of the map, with the exception a crossing point.  The climb is quite high, equating to 6.25% of course length, but hopefully not too challenging for our novice competitors.  There are very few paths on this map and the Yellow Course follows a variety of different line features.  Some of the legs can be done following line features that are two sides of a triangle whilst a much shorter route is available.  The use of a compass is recommended.
Short and Long Courses:  The Short and Long Courses visit the higher parts of the fell.

Entry Information

Pre-entry only.  Go to RaceSignUp at https://racesignup.co.uk/
Dibbers will be available.
Although the RaceSignUp entry system still requires the selection of start blocks, I will be ignoring them; just turn up and run.

Practical Info

SafetyIt is advised that competitors should carry whistles, but no check will be made. If weather is poor, then cagoules may be made compulsory. You must download even if you retire so we know you are back safe. It is recommended that you check for ticks!
