Rannerdale
Location & Terrain
Competition
Long 3.2km 165m climb
Short 2.2km 125m climb
Easy 1.3km 40m climb (mainly but not entirely on paths)
WARNING - This is an entirely different level of Night O challenge than the pre-Christmas events. The courses are on the lower slopes of Grasmoor, which is very rocky and largely covered in bracken, which although dead is still hard going and covers rocky ground. There are few paths which are mainly indistinct, especially at night. Courses may appear short but probably wont feel like it for most! You are strongly advised to use footwear with grip for wet or icy rock.

You need to bring a decent head torch (and maybe a spare) and make sure to dress appropriately for the weather.
