Three Peaks Fell Race

[Tomsk]

If everyone is nervous, think how those sheep must be feeling with circa 700 runners chasing them!!!!!

This may have already been asked but i can't be arsed searching. Do people know if we are expected to carry a map given the course is fully marked?

[Tussockface]

Earlier replies indicated no, though a compass has to be carried. As has been pointed out already, this seems a little odd.

Do you have to stick to the path coming off Whernside?

[wycoller]

Yes - I think I saw this on the race website.

No you don't but I've downloaded the map off the website on to a sheet of A4 and put my splits on it so I can check my progress.

The whole route is flagged and this route must be followed, Any other route will lead to instant disqualification so the website says.

I've found a few pictures of Whernside and surrounds on the internet to get everybody in the mood

See here

This view will be an especially welcome one for me on Saturday:

The rules every year state that recognised paths must always be followed.
