Gwybodaeth diogelwch

The route is entirely unmarked with some amount of route choice across remote terrain. Whilst there are paths some of the climb and descents are off-piste so self-reliance, good navigational and sound mountain judgement is required. There is a river crossings so competitors must carefully choose a safe crossing point – occasionally rivers are in spate so please consider heading up stream - take care. In good weather the course is relatively benign but in limited visibility good map and compass skills will be required. You may use GPS for route finding but please let the RO know on the day so that you may be recorded as ‘non-competitive’. Respect the natural environment and the landowners by staying clear of livestock, not climbing any wall or fence, (use the stiles). Failure to do so will result in disqualification. Please note the cut-off times at the checkpoints and if you doubt your abilities contact the RO before entering as all competitors will be vetted on the day. Bring full kit to the race (including waterproofs) as in previous years these have been required due to the challenging weather conditions.
