Protecting Newly Planted Cotton Grass & Landscape Restoration
This year it's most likely that there will be a flagged/compulsory/controlled section on the race course, from around Red Brook through to Edale Cross (so far - going to the Edale/East Side of Swines Back), this is at the request of the Land Owners (National Trust) who have an on-going initiative of Landscape Restoration, involving amongst other things planting CG seedlings in the eroding areas of peat on Kinder.
Last year a few racing runners strayed among the team of NT Planters during the course of the race, which caused a bit of amusement & a degree of anxiety .

And the section us KFR'ers love the best.....
quite a few choices & fav' lines ......
and plenty of opportunity to gain a few places in the muck & murk .....
there have often been a few who stray well off piste in this section of the race....
some have even made to Edale ......... (and eventually back!)
