Hello Clash - watch this space - we have prepared a detailed route description and OS Map - hoping to put this on www.heptonstallfellrace.org.uk today. The documents will be pdfs /word so allow easy download and print.
Just to clarify; Runners must stick to the route, the checkpoints are partly for safety and partly to ensure nobody cuts corners!!!
HOWEVER - just to make it more interesting for those who want some classic tussock and bog trotting we have decided to make the section on Heptonstall Moor an unflagged "route choice" between 2 checkpoints (Hot Stones Hill and Standing Stone Hill).
We realise this may fill some runners with dread so we have kindly provided a possible route (which will not be flagged) on our map and route description.
HINT - those who study the map, should be able to find more direct routes - but the terrain will be tougher - so we recommed your recce this section in detail.
The rest of teh route will be partially flagged
