Instructions for competitors on the day

As the event is now less than a week away it's time to post up those all important last minute instructions…

Instructions for entrants with an existing place (indicated by receipt of entrant number and handbook)

All entrants who already have a place MUST have checked in at Ingleton by 08:15 on Saturday 8th May.

Any entrant who has NOT checked in by this time (and is not in transit on a Fellsman bus) will be considered a no-show and their place will be reassigned.

A pre-event kit check session will be in operation on the Friday night at Threshfield from 19:30 to 21:30. Any entrant wishing to have their kit checked is welcome to do so but please note that you must still 'Check-in' on the Saturday morning prior to collecting your tally.

Instructions for entrants hoping for a place on the day
Although technically the event is full, we expect a number of no-shows on the day. Usually there are between 20 and 40 depending on the weather forcast for the weekend! We have therefore decided to instigate what we hope is a fair system for reassigning these places.

Individuals wishing to be considered for a no-show place must register their intent IN PERSON at Threshfield on the Friday night between 19:00 and 21:00 at the Accommodation desk; or on Saturday morning at Ingleton from 06:30 onwards. Individuals will be added to a waiting list in ordering of registering of intent.

Those 10 or so individuals still on the pre-event waiting list who have been notified by telephone will be given priority on the list but must still register IN PERSON to be considered for a place.

At 08:20 any places arising due to no-shows will be handed out to individuals who have registered an intent in strict list order.

We ask that, in order to speed up your check in, you have a completed entry form and a cheque made out to 'The Fellsman' or cash for the full on the day entry fee of £32, ready to hand to the check-in desk.

Please contact us if you have any queries about what you need to do.
