13/10 Update:

There have been changes due to quite a few last-minute injuries.

The updated team list has been posted in the Fell Facebook group. If you can’t see this and would like to know more about the teams (especially if you’re in one!) send me an email or text.

Last date for changes is Thursday 14th October 8pm, i.e. tomorrow. If you’re not in the place you think you should be then please let me know asap!
Please review the information on the Helm Hill website. The three most important things are:
(1) Arrive on time – L1 runners please be there for 10am; other runners be there for 11am. This means you should be arriving in the car park latest 9.15am L1 (10.15am L2-4) and so you will need to leave Macclesfield latest 7.15am (8.15am L2-4).
(2) Wear a club vest (or tshirt) – Steve will have some available for purchase on the day if you don’t have one. Also bring safety pins to attach your race number!
(3) Bring full FRA kit – that is: full body waterproofs with hood and taped seams, hat (not a buff), gloves, compass, whistle, emergency food.

Any questions comment here or send me a message using your favourite medium – otherwise, see you on Saturday! All being well I’ll be in our club tent, unless you get there early, in which case I’ll be struggling to put up our club tent.

Mark

6/10 Update:

British Fell Relays (16th Oct)
The final details and maps (for legs 1, 3 and 4) are now available;
Details: https://www.helmhill.co.uk/…/british-fell…/overview
Courses: https://www.helmhill.co.uk/…/british-fell…/courses
Please have a read of these. The ‘Details’ section contains loads of useful information, including a timetable of the day and kit requirements. The points I thought were most important are:

At some point soon I will need your emergency contact details, as soon as they put the required form on their website

We need to arrive in cars of 3 or 4. Whilst technically if you are running leg 4 you don’t need to arrive until about 1pm, it would be great if everyone was there for the start at 11am. Leg 1 runners must be there by 10am

The car park is a 45 minute walk from the start/finish arena – therefore leg 1 runners, you should be aiming to arrive at the car park by 9:15am at the latest. Please allow contingency time for traffic, etc

The start of the relay (and so for leg 1 runners) is 11am

The minimum kit requirement is waterproof coat, waterproof trousers, hat, gloves, compass, whistle and emergency food. If the conditions necessitate it you may want to carry more than this, but you can’t carry less

You will need to wear a race number, which you’ll pick up from me on the day. It will be either green (leg 1), yellow (2), red (3) or blue (4). You will need to bring your own safety pins

Each runner or pair will have an SI card (‘dibber’). At each checkpoint, there will be a box. Inset the dibber into the hole, and it will beep. It will look something like this: https://www.sportident.sg/product/. There will either be a marshal or an orange and white orienteering flag next to it (ie it will be obvious)

You will enter a holding pen at some point before you expect the runners on the leg prior to yours to return. At this point your kit will be checked – once that has happened, you can’t leave the holding pen. Fret not – there are toilets in the holding pen! Please be in the pen when your previous leg runner(s) arrives. If you aren’t, they are likely to be cross

There will be a mini-mass start for each leg at scheduled times thoughout the day for teams whose previous leg runner hasn’t returned before that time – e.g. at 12:05, all the remaining leg 2 runners will all start together. This doesn’t disqualify the team or anything, it just keeps the day moving

There is a limited supply of drinking water, so bring water with you. A meal is provided for all competitors (free), and there is additional food/cakes/beer available for purchase

Please pass this info on to anyone in your teams who you know isn’t likely to see this post. And let me know if you have any questions! Thanks – and stay out of trouble for the next week and a half 🙂

There will be no camping at the race venue. Tebay is close to the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales and the Eden valley so there are lots of options for those who wish to stay over.
