Transport info

The upper car park for the race, has limited spaces so car sharing is advised - it will be possible to park at the pub and share lifts up to the car park.

Safety information

This is an easy fell race in fair conditions. It can however provide a significant challenge if the weather is poor in terms of wind and rain. Being fully marked, it requires no navigational skills. It’s all on paths.
