Sale Fell - Galoppen
Location & Terrain
Competition
The usual colour coded courses will be on offer. Course details to follow.
Sale Fell is not particularly high, even by Lakeland standards but it can be exposed to the weather. Please come suitably equipped. Whistles are recommended and cagoules may be compulsory. If this is the case signs will be placed on the event access road. The safety bearing is South.
Practical Info
Parking will be in the same field as Assembly. It is located in the second field on the right as you pass Old Scales Farm (CA13 9YR) in the Wythop Valley. Entrance to the field is through a farm gate at NY 19583 28742
The event will be signed from the A66 at NY 17507 30375 sign posted Wythop Mill. From the turning off the A66 follow the signs taking you into the small village of Wythop Mill. At the cross roads continue straight ahead and after 600m bear right over the small bridge. Turn left at the junction at the top of the hill, and follow the road past Old Scales Farm. Parking will be found past the farm on the right.
Runnability can vary from excellent to slower on rougher areas. There are areas of bracken and gorse so full leg cover is mandatory. The area is grazed by sheep so check afterwards for ticks.
