You could try Rydal Hall 015394 32050 - between Ambleside and Grasmere and just a short drive from the start of the OCTs. The Fairfield Horseshoe race starts and finishes there so you'll probably find some other fell runners camping there.
In spite of being owned by the CofE, Rydal has a good teashop and a bar. :)
The advantage of that arrangement is that on Saturday night you can big up your OCT achievements by comparison with the puny 9 miles of the Fairfield race. ;)
Isn't there another campsite in Langdale, to the east of the one near the start? Not sure where it is but it is on the map - does anyone know if that is open?
That's the one I was thinking of. Thanks MR.
what a great race
thanks to all the helpers out there , great checkpoints
a great night at chapel stile
a nice steady start by andy b and myself and we finished in a tad over 9hrs so very pleased
Well Done you two, plainly on song & ready for BG'ing!
Belting race! the best and most enjoyable i have ever done i think.
Team pie finished in 8 hours thirty one which exceeded our own expectations.
Excellent friendly organisation and a race i now intend to do every year, many thanks to organisors for a cracking day out (and to the two dark peak lads who supplied us with their in depth route finding knowledge on the way round, good luck with you Bobby G attempt b4 your fiftieth Ashley!! or you could do a fifty at fifty!).
:) :) :) :)
What a great day out and you don't even need to pack your own butties ! The tinkle of cowbells,food, tea and checkpoint marshalls were the best. A modest 9.32 for myself and running buddy Dave B but a day to remember....my respect to all who turned out.
