It used to start/finish just south of junction in Torver - now it is just to the north it.

Hi Luke,
The Country Fair is nowadays near Little Arrow: from the Torver T-junction head towards Coniston on the A593 and in 700m it's on your left.

What Three Words: You're joking right?
I hope you can come - the weather looks good, at least, the UV count is low!

The race always half kills me, i always turn up without the climb in my legs.

You could warm up at the Rusland Show the day before, only 8km away as the golden eagle flies.

(One has been sighted several times in coniston in the last few weeks.)
