I've just noticed that a race I want to enter on Saturday (Hutton Roof, BM) has an ER tag on it. I was wondering what this actually means. Do you have to show experience in a number of races? Is it just up to the race organiser's discretion? Is the rule enforced at all for such a race?
I've only done one fell race before but have plenty of experience in the hills (inc the area of the race) and feel 100% confident for this race, I just don't want to be turned away at the start line because I can't meet some rule that's being enforced.
