The access to the Mountain View Ranch is approx. 200m south of the Black Cock Pub. A parking fee of £3per car/vehicle will be payable on the day. Please bring correct cash.
It is not known whether the Ranch’s canteen will be open on the day. If not, the café at the adjacent Mountain View Bike Park may be open for a hot cup of tea and a snack.
The roads in the immediate vicinity are narrow so I discourage parking on these.
Please note that the race start is just under 1km away so allow plenty of time for registration and walking to the start line. Registration will cease at 1345 and no late-comers will be allowed to race. I suggest you register from 1245-1330.
Insurance and Safety
The race is insured by the WFRA and therefore competitors are subject to the WFRA safety requirements for fell races and rules for competition. Competitors should arrive at races prepared to wear/carry all of the following equipment:
Adequate whole body cover, (e.g. windproof or waterproof top and legging to give protection against the effects of wind chill, hat and gloves) to protect you against hypothermia or heat exhaustion/ dehydration in the severest conditions likely on the day. The Race Organiser (RO) will specify minimum clothing requirements for their event, but you are responsible for carrying much additional clothing as necessary for your own protection. You should always bring additional protective equipment to the race registration in order to be able to comply with more stringent requirements that may be demanded by the RO on the day due to adverse conditions. The greatest need for clothing is not for running but when you are forced to stop or slow, and wait what can be a very long time for rescue.
Map of the race route and compass, both suitable for navigating the course.
Whistle.
Emergency food and/ or fluids as needed for the conditions.
Any additional items specific to your needs.
Please note that the race was subject to severe climatic conditions in 2014 with sleet and horizontal freezing wind. Competitors must bring suitable clothing for such conditions. I suggest that you bring a bum bag which can carry: hat, gloves, windproof top and bottoms (full length) and whistle. If it’s raining or if there is a risk of raining I will be specifying that you must wear/carry waterproof tops and bottoms. Bring them. If I don’t see a bum bag, it’s a little obvious that you’re not carrying kit. Wear suitable off road shoes too.
Please note that I've turned a few competitors away previously for not having the necessary safety equipment.
