Other Notes: 

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE: Much of the area is high exposed mountainside and the event is being held on the last day of November. In the event of bad weather we may insist on full waterproof body cover (including leg cover). Waterproof means sold as waterproof with taped seams in line with current Fell Racing standards. Please come to the event prepared for this eventuality no matter what the weather looks like. If waterproof kit is deemed to be essential there will be a kit check on leaving the car park. Whistles will be essential no matter what the weather.

START: The Start is approximately 15 mins walk from the car park so you need to allow sufficient time for this.
