That's correct, 080224, just like last year. I debated this at length near the start of last year's thread.

This year, the instructions sent to team captains still say 080224, as do the downloadable event instructions on the organisers' web site. Team captains are asked to distribute this information to all team members. So maybe it really is 080224 after all and we should stand corrected.

The route descriptions differ from this as they were duplicated from another web site which had taken liberty to 'correct' this error.

Thanks for that Pike. It looks like you had the same questions last year that i have this year. I think we will head for the car park at the Grid Ref Stagger gave last year and hope for the best

What do people use as a map on the day. A full map is a bit bulky and was wondering if you can get away with carrying a photo copie?

Cheers.

A4 photo copy with the route marked on has been OK in previous years.

Anyone fancy a recce of leg 5 at some point on Saturday as I haven't a clue of the course?? I'm free to go at anytime.

I can't go sunday because I'm running at Bolton by Bowland...

If I end up going by myself, is it possible to mountain bike leg 5 for a recce as I dont want to run it in both directions on sat. Otherwise I'll be goosed on sunday!

Cheers, Al
