Parking will be behind Tintwistle and Glossop United Reformed Church (more of a chapel). Its just opposite the Bulls Head Pub Car Park (Don’t park in their car park.) on Old Road.
There’s also 5-10 parking spaces at the bottom of Chapel Brow next to the Grave Yard once we are full up. http://goo.gl/maps/DxCV4
Parking is
limited so please organise to carshare wherever possible. The Church has requested that I remind you not
to prance around in your y-fronts as some of the locals have been offended by
fell runner ‘types’ in the past.
The Bulls Head Pub will be opening up early so we can use
the toilets
The start will be approximately 1 mile (slightly
uphill on decent footpaths) from the Church/pub. The finish is at the edge of
access land about 500m from the Church/Pub.
Debrief afterwards at the Pub with soup and roll (£4ish).
I’ll post the map up on Wednesday to allow beer fuelled
discussion to be had on Wednesday night.
Entries are still available via Lewis (email).
Kit and Race Requirements:
In light of the length, tough terrain and likely weather
conditions all those taking part should ensure they have full kit as defined
under the FRA Safety Rules and Equipment: Waterproof Jacket, Waterproof over trousers,
Hat, Gloves, Whistle, Compass, Map and some food if you are intending to be out
for some time. Random Kit Checks will take place.
As in previous years you will be assigned a start number on
the back of the hand. Please show this to the checkpoint marshals.
Of course anyone retiring should let the finish
team know.
