Probably the lowest low-key fell race possible – details and format as usually. Parking and registration, from 6:15pm at ‘The Quarry Car park’ 700m down the road from Dockray towards Aira Force. The route goes up the road from Dockray to High Brow, Hartside and Common Fell checkpoints. It’s about a six mile race, with around 2000’ of tough climbing on rough and open fell. You need navigational skills and experience. Kit requirement is a wind/waterproof jacket with head covering, and a map or sense of direction, as a minimum. No prizes, no faff... just buy beer or in The Royal Hotel afterwards. Please, please, please... Please do not park in the hotel car park before and during the race - toilets are available at Aira Force. The landlord is very friendly but doesn’t deserve to have his car park grid locked for two hours during potential evening meal service times. I’m still hopeful to stage an additional longer race from Dockray later in the summer so your co-operation, consideration and contribution to that cause are all very important.
Many thanks. Joe

GL3Day - 'Final Info' update
Today I have been busy beavering away with prep and admin for GL3Day, and I'm really excited about venues and route we have in store this year. We've a great start/finish location and two cracking overnight campsites.
The 'Final Details' info has just been emailed, or posted, to the 44 hardy souls who currently make up the start list. If you are expecting them and haven't yet received them, perhaps your email has gone astray or I've pressed the wrong button, sorry! Please do send me an email if you haven't received the info. Also there are a few spare places available for anyone who is interested in entering - full details on the website, of course, and via email.
I'm well aware that our website development hasn't quite reached it's peak yet, hence the old site is more than a 'tad' out of touch, but we really are in the final stages with the new site, so adding anything new to the old site isn't really worth it.
More news soon ... enjoy Easter hols
