The Summer Sharpener mallet has whacked white sticks into some of the even lesser-known nooks and crannies of the Burbage and Houndkirk Moors, ready for the start of this year’s series on Wednesday night. It’s the usual format, i.e. the race gets underway at 6:45 and maps will be released five minutes earlier to give you time to plan your route carefully. Start and finish at Burbage north car park. Please arrive in good time to register, and remember to bring a compass, pen and your entry fee, (which sadly has increased to \u00a32 after we made a slight loss last year). This is the first in a series of three this year. Prizes will be the usual bottles of Woodhead Mountain Rescue Ale, and any cash surplus at the end of the series will be donated to the mountain rescue team. If you’ve not taken part before, you must be prepared to navigate at speed using fine detail from an orienteering map, and to plot your way across some very rough and steep terrain. You do, of course, take part entirely at your own risk and you accept responsibility for your own decisions.<\/p>\n
