Due to the location we have official permissions for this race so note the rules:
1 – No dogs
2 – No parking on the road
The rangers and forestry commission know about the event – as they have given the permissions so will know if we don’t follow these simple rules.
Parking
Parking will be tight – car sharing is a compulsory part of entry! If arriving by car which is not full you must check first parking area at SK 187876 to car share with others for the final few miles. This is the first one on the Derwent valley road – on the right.
There will be a 5 minute time penalty if you arrive at westend in a single occupancy car or park on the road at westend.
We have some very limited off road parking just over the westend bridge at SK 154929. once you have followed the above instructions and your car is full please drive to westend.
I would advise you bring some warm extra things in a small (waterproof) bag as there will be no facilities provided at the finish.
Kit
Full FRA kit is recommended as a MINIMUM. Look at the forecast and route use your judgement.
There will be very minimal marshals on the route so as usual with club events self reliance is the order of the day. You will be signing out and back in again – the rest is up to you…
But be aware of random kit checks and time penalties… we may even give time to people with extra kit!
