Other Notes: 

All courses start and finish adjacent to the parking. The long and short both have a good climb early on to gain the flatter and runable ground of Seatoller Fell.  If the sun shines the views of the central fells are incredible.  Both courses finish with a descent to Honister Combe where the last few controls are located.  Given the altitude it is recommended that a jacket is worn/carried if the weather is looking poor.  The courses have very little bracken to deal with but runnable boggy ground is a regular feature.
The novice course stays low and again avoids the bracken but wet feet are guaranteed, pack a change of socks/shoes.
