Um .. I'm a bit of a newbie to fell running but I am an experienced orienteer. I have entered this race but I am confused. Can you choose your own route?? That would certainly add an interesting navigational element (from my point of view). In that case, what is meant by the bit in the details about having to follow marked route across private land - how much of the route is this? Some of the GRs don't seem to make sense e.g. is the 5th point supposed to be at the path junction or the mapped (1:25000) boulder? Are roads out of bounds? (otherwise do we have a procession along the very busy A6187 after visiting 7, to Toad's Mouth?) Are we supposed (expected) to carry a map?
Sorry about all the questions
; here's an answer
- I was at an orienteering event at Burbage before Christams and I recall that the moor was quite runnable (that's a relative term of course!)
Regards for any info and advice.
