And what happens if you're memory isn't as good as you thought it was?
In principle, the tracker in the emergency bag is the safety measure if people get lost on the moors. But I wonder if anyone will actually be monitoring them carefully enough to notice if someone is stationary for half an hour on a remote and boggy area of moorland.

Again in principle, if you have no idea where you are except that it is 10 miles from Hebden Bridge, you just go uphill until you can see Stoodley Pike, and navigate from that. Obviously this won't work if it's claggy. In fact, one of the main reasons that I am hesitant about entering this event is that it seems quite likely that I could end up doing a lot of road running just so that I always know where I am and where I'm going.
