Clougha Pike

I have had a response from the RO who says that they are hopingto get maps and details up on FRA site by tonight or tomorrow

Race maps attached, I hope.

You may NOT recce across the farmland. If you want a look, I am told you can go on Friday evening, when they are flagging.

Lecky

And U18s map as well.

A few of us will be assisting the RO to flag the courses, starting at 6.00 pm this Friday, 18th June; from 100 yards N.E. of Quernmore cross-roads, NGR 520590.
Please park on the left, SW of the cross-roads.

Noted the race start times show grouping.

Are they likely to be staggered like at Viking with a couple of minutes between each of the grouped ages?

Excellent they look challenging in both distance and height. Lecky you might want to check the U12 distance though as its suggesting it exceeds the 2 mile max. Whats the terrain like under foot?

It's not so bad at all - the terrain gets more challenging for the U14 upwards. There's climbing but mostly steep fields for the U8 - U12s - a bit like the lower reaches of Coiners (don't tell the lads)
Actually I think the U16 & U18 will have a real test ;)

CCR. As I'm copied in on the correspondence between Lecky & the RO, I can assure you that the matter is now in hand! Just weighing up whether to move the start or the turn?? It's out by only 200 yards or so.
All pretty dry at the moment. U8 & U10 are on fairly steep grassy fields, progressively getting a bit rougher for the older groups.
The U18 should really enjoy themselves. I've known CFR members come down to do the Senior event and comment "Great little event, a bit of everything!" Around the summit is particularly rough and rocky - really ankle cropping stuff.
