Travel Directions
Best approached from the A6 at Burton-in-Kendal. Leave the A6070 at junction (GR529761) at South end of the village signposted Hutton Roof and Kirkby Lonsdale. Eastward on Dalton Lane for 5km, to junction signposted Hutton and Lupton.
Do not use the very narrow lane which has junction 1km North of Burton-in-Kendal.

Start
There will be Mass starts for the 4 TWT courses between from 10.30am and 10.55am.
It is not a punching Start. Maps will be distributed to competitors before the order to start.
The Blue Course will not have a mass start. Competitors will start at 1min intervals between 10.30am and 11am.
The Start is 350 metres with 15m ascent from the Car Park and Village Hall.
The walk to the start passes the village War Memorial and villagers will be holding their Remembrance Day Service here at 11am. It is very important that our event causes no disturbance or distraction. Competitors must be at the Start area before the service commences.
Finish
Village Hall and Car Park are close to the Finish.
Refreshments and Prizegiving
Providing there are no new Covid regulations we hope to have Tea, Coffee, Soups and Cakes in the Village Hall at reasonable prices for competitors after they have finished. The Village Hall Committee is famous for its legendary cakes. All proceeds to the village hall. It should be a great opportunity meet and socialise after many months of inactivity and isolation and attend the Prizegiving.
Traders
There are no traders attending the event.
Course Information
Terrain - Beautiful well-contoured limestone woods and faster open areas with plenty of exposed rock. In the woods, paths are often covered with leaves and can be difficult to see. In the open, mapped paths are often rather indistinct. Limestone pavement can be very slow going and slippery if wet. The bracken will not have died down fully. Courses have been designed to avoid the densest areas of bracken.
