Thank you for joining us on another lovely evening today on Subberthwaite for the third event in the Summer Series! We hope you enjoyed the courses, the views and the area. Many thanks to Rob for planning, Derek F as Safety Controller and Matt as Series Co-ordinator and the SI Team of Ali & Mike, Chris & Andy, Harry and Matthew, especially to those who stayed late to determine that a runner had in fact finished safely, but didn't download. Please do remember to download, no matter how long you've taken or how well (or not) you have done - it is an important part of our safety strategy.
Any questions on the results, please drop us a line at si@lakelandoc.uk
Planners Comments:
It has been a while since I planned and organised an event. I'd like to thank all the helpers, especially Derek for controlling, mum & dad for helping out with parking and control hanging. To the SI team and especially Christine and Andy for the 'leg work' at the end of the evening! Finally to Matt and Peter for helping to collect everything back in (and their parents for waiting patiently!)
In terms of the evening itself, we were very lucky with the weather and this possibly played a part over the last few weeks with the growth the bracken, made for additional challenge... All in all, most people I saw coming back in to finish looked like they had enjoyed themselves, albeit with a few more prickles on one's legs!

Map / Terrain
Welcome to Subberthwaite Common, part of the parish of Blawith and Subberthwaite on the edge of the Lake District National Park.
This evening, look forward to orienteering over some great, runnable terrain and if you get a chance (and the weather allows it!) please do pause and take in the fine views.
Subberthwaite is a fast open fell with plenty of rock detail, areas of gorse and some bracken, which may have become quite tall. Hope that areas of marsh won’t be too wet in June but if there has been inclement weather leading up to the event be prepared to get wet feet!
Full leg cover isn’t compulsory.
The area is exposed and if the weather is bad, you may be required to carry a hooded waterproof jacket, and potentially hat, gloves and waterproof trousers. You should bring these to the event and notices will be displayed in the car park and at the start.
You must carry a whistle.
