Equipment to be carried:-

As this event will take place in February, participants must be prepared for potentially bad weather. Although the route does not go to very high ground and is relatively close to civilisation at all times, it is mostly off roads and it is the middle of winter! Minimum kit is given below which all participants must wear / carry at all times.

Minimum kit: full waterproofs, hat, gloves, fleece top, long trousers, compass, whistle, mug, emergency food, torch.

Maps/Route Description: Either OS Maps Explorer 289 or Landranger 104 (and a small section of 105) or electronic mapping.  Route description either in paper format or electronic format

There will be plenty of food at the checkpoints, as well as hot and cold drinks. There will be shops available en route on the first loop where the checkpoints are a bit further apart, so you can buy additional supplies if necessary. We will cater for vegetarians but any other special diets will not be catered for.

A full route description as well as .gpx file will be available approx. 2 weeks before the event.  Draft versions will be available prior to that.
