The start is on the fell slope of Rannerdale Knotts , so take care when crossing the road, supervise young juniors.
The novice has a finish on the fell slope, so again take when re-crossing the road, there will be signs out to warn traffic.
The long and short cross the road, near Crummock, so take care here, they end in the broadleaf woodland adjacent to the NT car park - a technical sting in the tail.
Check your control numbers, there are quite a few controls in the final section.
