Care will be needed with some dangerous features. There are crags everywhere, of all sizes from 1m to 50m! Runners on Long and Short courses should watch where they are going at all times!
The area is quite tough and hilly, with plenty of rocks and Duddon tussocks.
Walls highlighted in pink may only be crossed at the marked points, which are places where the wall is broken.
The route back from the finish crosses a footbridge deemed unsafe by the council due to a missing handrail - take care!

Registration and Start times
There will be NO EOD and there will be NO Si Cards to be hired on a day basis.
Registration will be by pre-entry on the Si Entries website with 15 minute start blocks from 10.30 - 12.00 where an available entry time slot can be booked and payment made online.
However, we would prefer that the yellow course runners use the 1st two time slots, i.e. 10.30-10.45 or 10.45-11.00, if possible.
Pre-entries and on-line editing has now closed and the start list is here, the time given is the first minute of the 15 minute time slot.
In order to manage the flow of runners through the start all runners must use the selected start window if possible.
Any entry queries which cannot be sorted out on the Si Entries website should be addressed to dave.walton1@btinternet.com before the event, or at Download on the event day before you go to the start.
Unless they have any queries about their entry competitors should go directly to the Start for their booked start time, they should come to the event changed ready to run and to leave after downloading before changing.
Any LOC members who DO NOT own an Si Card and would like to enter this or any of the possible events in the near future can borrow one (Si Card 5) until the crisis is over, please e-mail dave.walton1@btinternet.com with your name, Ageclass/gender, Year of Birth, BOF no., and I will arrange that one can be collected at the first event you attend. There will be the usual £30 fee for a lost SI Card.
