Other Notes: 

Update 11/5: along with great weather, the planenr has organised a barbeque at registration on which you can cook whatever you bring - summer is here!!

There is a 1km flat walk, from Forge Bridge along the Birker Fell road to the start and return to the Registration. Care is required. Novices and Juniors can be transported to the start, BUT there is only room for two cars to park OFF the road. This section of the road is narrow and twisty. The courses have been planned to take the above into account. Straight line ascent on the Long course appears on the high side, but route choice allows this to be reduced to a manageable amount. Bring whistles and in case of wet weather a suitable hooded water proof top.
