Fell running has always been an inclusive event.

I'm with Ambleside although I still think it will be difficult to prove etc should a complaint arise.

As to waiting for GPS to be come affordable don't we already have an affordable way to navigate..

To me its about learning the skill to navigate and improving mountain craft...
