PLEASE NOTE CHANGE OF VENUE - this is now a Sunday Only event

This year's venue for the Fell Race has undergone a last-minute relocation to the Peak District.

The Start and Finish point is the car park below Dovestones Reservoir, Chew valley. This is easily found by heading east from Greenfield on the A635. The turning on the right is clearly signposted. If you get to open country you have gone too far.

There is a modest charge for using this car park, which should encourage car sharing. [There is a free car park further along the A635 but it does often fill up quite early.]

Those wishing to take part should present themselves to me in the car park at 10:00 for the start time of 11:00 for mere mortals, somewhat later for those with whippet genes.

I will rely on the runners to self select into the appropriate categories, but the usual KMC handicapping system will operate; i.e. arcane and incomprehensible.

Please note you will be expected to have a map and compass! The 1:25000 Outdoor Leisure map of the Peak District, Dark Peak, would be a good choice. SW Lakes would not!

I will be in the pub this Thursday, the 12th. All queries, bribes etc. can be directed to me there. Anyone willing to marshal/generally help out will earn my undying gratitude.

The rumours have started early. Please note it will not be obligatory to swim the length of the reservoir or to solo Appointment With Fear.
