I should think only Joe knows. On 2 April I had an email from him:Originally Posted by Richard36
"As you may be aware, we ran into (no pun intended!) access difficulties with United Utilities prior to our recent Tour de Kentmere run. Conseqeuntly, we have currently suspended further entries for this year's Tour whilst we consider our options. Currently, there are just three entrants (and I'm one of them) and whilst we hope to stage some form of run, in December, we will update you in due course."
I don't know who the third entrant is, & I haven't heard anything more. I haven't had my entry fee back though, so I'm hoping it will still go ahead. There was a route description, although I haven't got a copy & it's not up on the website now as far as I can see. I did however mark my map up, so I can tell you where it was going to go. I should think there's every chance it will be different now if it goes ahead though.
Start: Askham (GR513237)
WSW on bridleway to Howtown, road to CP1/CP8 at Martindale Church (GR436192)
Road to Boredale Head, bridleway to Boredale Hause & down to CP2/CP7 at Patterdale (GR396158)
Glenridding then up Glenridding Beck to the YH & up the Sticks Pass path to CP3 by footbridge (GR359179)
Over Sticks Pass & down to Sty Beck & CP4 by footbridge (GR321189)
FP above intake southwards parallel to A591, then descend to CP5 in car park (GR316168)
Permissive path through forestry southwards to Dunmail Raise (CP6 I think, but I've erased this bit from my map!)
Up Raise Back, past Grisedale Tarn & down Grisedale Beck to rejoin outward route at Patterdale.
...all GRs are approx, from my map not Joe's route description.
