Before The Start * Can I leave my vehicle at the start? * Is there somewhere I can spend the night? * I can't sleep in a hall with strangers, what local accommodation is available? * I can't get up early, what about stopping near the start? text/html 2012-01-27T00:57:38+00:00 Dave Driver http://www.fellsman.org.uk/doku.php?id=faq:grouping&rev=1327625858&do=diff Why must I walk in a group during the night? The grouping rule is an essential safety measure for entrants walking during the night time portion of the event. After the defined grouping time, anyone arriving at a roadside checkpoint may only continue in a group of four or more. If there are not four entrants present at the checkpoint, then you will need to wait until more entrants arrive (waiting time will be allowed in this case).

The event climbs over 11,000 feet in its path from Ingleton to Threshfield in the Yorkshire Dales. Most of the route is over privately owned land, the use of which is secured by the organisers for the weekend only.

The need to change the date of the event to the 28th and 29th April plus the fact that this will be the 50th event has meant that all manner of extra challenges are facing the Committee this year. We have some exciting things in the works, details of which will be announced over the coming weeks. Please be assured that behind the scenes we have been working really hard to make this year an extra special celebration. =) text/html 2011-10-27T23:50:55+00:00 Dave Driver http://www.fellsman.org.uk/doku.php?id=faq:special_diets&rev=1319759455&do=diff We try to accommodate as many people as possible on the event.
