Weather conditions for the Skyline are looking good BUT there is still plenty of SNOW around and it is still winter.
Just a reminder that the required kit list goes beyond the standard FRA kit minimum list for an AL race and is as follows:
•Waterproof cagoule with taped seams and integral hood
•Waterproof over-trousers with taped seams
•Approapriate fell shoes and socks
•Hat (we'll accept a Buff, but would prefer you carried something warmer)
•Warm Gloves
•Map appropriate for navigating round the course
•Whistle
•Compass
•Food (400 kcal minimum) = at least 2 mars bars, preferable more!
•Leggings (at least ¾ length)
•Two long sleeved tops

Fail to bring the kit you signed up to on entering and you will have to watch!

At the organiser's discretion this list may be relaxed on the day, but all competitors should be prepared to carry or wear all items listed above. We will have no hesitation in barring you from competing if you turn up without the stipulated kit. There will be kit checks for all runners at registration. There may also be random kit checks at the start and finish.

In addition, for the safety of you and fellow competitors, we recommend that you also consider carrying the following:
•Mobile phone
•Bivy bag

Sorry if you think this all sounds rather draconian, but it is done with your best interests at heart.

Good luck and have a safe race.
