Mark - they are going to flag the path. I'm presuming this will be the green track marked on the OS maps, so a bit off the initial racing line, but this could make the slight detour to it quicker? It's a shame but I can see why they're doing this for moorland preservation purposes.

Rich - it's always a bit boggy just before you reach the final drag to the trig - if solo ensure you take a good look at the ground before you cross it! If you want a GPS trace search Strava. I did once have to be pulled out by CVFR's finest.

Could be an interesting race this year with the champs race the day before expected to have an effect upon the start list.
