thanks for your reply.

the website for the club/race and the information was full of information and included a great deal. all the races that form part of the English championship should aspire to this standard..

the postcode was for the school..the instructions actually state variously that the start/ registration is at the school/ behind the school. the pennine junior challange flyer actually states the school as the start and registration.
The arrow on the map clearly shows the start registration as within the school grounds... if the school gates had not been locked at noon i suspect that a great many more would have tried to this route to get to the start.

at 11am when registration was stated as opening there were no signs anywhere.. when we had registered at 11.20 and walked back to the junction of the start straight and the hill..first signs saying 'caution runners' were being placed at the end of the start straight..

we had a great day out. the sun shone the sky was blue. we ran up and down a hill. all for two quid...
