I thought this years Nav leg was a good balance. For me the Nav leg at the relays should be easy nav the skill should be in the route choice and running speed rather than finding some obscure re-entrant, that's orienteering, whereas itw as very much find obvious locations, basic macro nav, then get your route choices right and run fast.

The organiser has chosen not to do this. I think the idea is to show a list of teams on the event website at a later date.

Sure is!
A mixture of fast grassy descents, some boggy moorland terrain and limestone trails. Three fast and fun routes.

Re: UKA British Fell & Hill Re
So who's running this next week.
I'm down for the short and (relatively) easy leg 1.
Will be happy not to come in the final 25% of the field.
-
Re: UKA British Fell & Hill Re
I'll be there. Double header that weekend - shooting down to Sheffield after Saturday's race for the Compass Sport Cup Final, disappointed to miss the post-race craic but I'm sure I'll find some in Sheffield.
Who's staying over Friday night in Kettlewell? I'll be there in me little purple tent.

Re: UKA British Fell & Hill Re
I'm camping, whats the deal do we just turn up and camp or do we need to pre-arrange.
Cheers

Re: UKA British Fell & Hill Re
we will collect the money from you,just enter the field and pitch your tent with consideration for others arriving.
A few of us will be there from thursday setting up.
There is a camp site with limited capacity almost adjacent to the event field in Kettlewell, there will be a charge for using this site (£5 per person per night) which has toilets (2) and showers (2). No caravans or motorhomes. Campervans must be less than 5m long (tight access to field). If you do use this site please keep your pitch as compact as possible.
Please note, as this camp site is close to the event field with competitors using the campsite track, we may have to restrict vehicle access between 10am and 4.30pm on race day.

Re: UKA British Fell & Hill Re
where's parking for the campsite likely to be? In the race parking area?
-
Re: UKA British Fell & Hill Re
Recced leg 4 this morning with Mrs Stagger and its very wet.
Runners will need all the grip they can get.
Mudclaws were ok but Talons were slipping.

You'll be able to park in the camping field but you must park tight to your tent to ensure there is enough room for everybody. There will be marshals on the camping field to direct you.

Re: UKA British Fell & Hill Re
cheers Womble - headlamp tent pitching will be much easier than fumbling around with a headtorch!

Re: UKA British Fell & Hill Re
Can anyone put my mind at rest? I've had a confirmation email from SiEntries for our relay team. I've also had another email from SiEntries asking me to "Declare" our team if not already done so. Not sure what this means. I've added our team members etc, just dont know what this declaration means. Also, what time do we need to register by? Got a bit of a drive north.
Thanks all.
