Other Notes: 

IMPORTANT!
- Long and short courses – please read (and understand!) instructions at registration before starting.
- Long and short will cross under the A66 using a tunnel. The road is marked OOB and must not be crossed directly under any circumstances.
- Long and short approach the lake shore which may be higher than mapped depending on weather etc.
- Due to this years (un)favourable conditions the bracken is quite extensive and tall, you may wish to consider this when making route choices.
