Hi everyone,
after a few years of road racing i've decided to venture into the world of fell running! I've completed a couple of shorter races but was wondering what longer races were like in terms of navigation.
My map reading skills are pretty sound, and I learnt basic navigation whilst doing my DofE, and i'm looking forward to dusting those off...
My questions were really: do runners bring their own maps to races, with bearings etc worked out beforehand? Or is it a case of being handed a map on the day with which to plan your route?
I appreciate this question may sound daft, but any guidance would be appreciated once you've stopped laughing
thanks
