Three Peaks

Although this English counter is now full according to the website, if you have missed out and you meet the race qualification standards visit the website www.threepeaksrace.org.uk and get on the waiting list giving some kind of reason why you should have an entry [e.g. competing in Vet 40 cat.]
Rumour has it that vetting of current entries will start soon and for sure some will be excluded.

Rosthwaite Chocolate Run

For anyone whose interested there's a very runnable navigation challenge in place until end January.

There are 9 markers in total. Distance 13km. Time approx. 2 hours. It's probably best to use a 1:25000 scale map of the English Lakes North-Western Area.

Park at the usual car park in Rosthwaite. The start is at 263154 "Hawthorn tree behind a wall". The marker here will give a grid reference to the next point etc.

Don't forget to take a pen, notepad, compass. It's open fell so dress accordingly.

There could be one or two tricky markers to find so I'd appreciate feedback. Post it here on the blog.

Good luck and I hope you find the chocolate
