Make sure that you leave your vest OFF! The vest wearing gents in this picture seem to be struggling, while Richard is making light work of the terrain.

Training on the course and important land access issues
The local land owners have been extremely co-operative, working with us to allow access across open farm land en-route to the mast (the first big climb), and allowing access across Abney and Offerton Moor for the later parts of the course. (This access is granted for the duration of the race only; a TWO hour period 1100hrs - 1300hrs on the day – please do not abuse this privilege).
Dogs
The race is to be held in early Spring (lambing time), so no dogs on the course.
And of course, a video:
