A new date has been fixed for Dockray-Hartside. The shuffling of dates is due, in part to the Keswick Mountain Festival and swopping dates with the Latrigg race. Also, now that Tebay is a weekend Championship race the local calendar is appears a bit short of mid-week races. The following is the summary from the FRA calendar, which will be familar to many of you;
WED.JUN 17. DOCKRAY - HARTSIDE (R). AM. 7.00 p.m. 6m/2000' from Dockray village. Registration and parking at "Quarry Car Park" (GR 397211). £1. ER/NS/LK. Over 18. Records: 47.00 B. Bardsley 2007; f. 53.56 V. Wilkinson 2005. Toilets at Aira Force car park. No safety pins. DO NOT park at the Royal Hotel before or during the race. Details: Joe Faulkner, High Brow, Tirril, Penrith, CA10 2LS. Tel: 07749 364248. Email: faulknerjoe@hotmail.com Website: nav4.co.uk
What this all means is that the race will follow the same route as in previous years, to the same start and finish format. The Landlord and has staff are all very friendly and supportive of the race, and we encourage you to drink and eat there, if and when you can. However, his car park is not big enough for all of us, and it is unreasonable that we grid-lock it during the race when he needs it for evening meal customers. Consequently, parking and registration is at the 'Quarry Car Park' 700m down the road towards Aira Force. There are public toilets at Aira Force also. Please leave your cars at that car park and walk/jog to the start, it's a good warm up or cool down, then join us in The Royal for a drink.
Route advise to follow, and I'll maybe try and upload a map, but please tell your friends and clubmates and come along to a 'reet good run'
Joe
