Travel

Whilst the new link road from the Airport to the A6 out of Hazel Grove nicely bypasses Stockport there will be a queue at rush hour to get off the road and towards High Lane. Please factor this in your journey time.

Format of Event

There are two parts, two maps,  but only one question sheet.

Part 1 has 30% of the controls, 30% of the value and 30% of the distance
Part 2 has 70% of the controls, 70% of the value and 70% of the distance

Part 1 map and questions are issued at Start (PUB)
Part 2 map Go to the Finish Symbol marked as MAP on the Part 1 map

Hand over Part 1 Map and receive the Part 2 map.

NB Whilst you do not have to get a Part 2 map it is probably advisable that you do so.

Timing finishes when you return and punch the finish control back at the PUB

The scoring values are 20s to 70s as other events but check the map scale and penalty points before starting.

Additional Safety Information

The map is bisected by the main A6 road from Stockport to Buxton and will be busy most of the evening.

There are 13 crossing points marked on the map (Pedestrian lights or bollards). PLEASE USE THEM.

Take care if using the Canal Towpath as it is Unlit but the path is in generally good condition albeit slightly muddy in places.

Terrain

The area to the NORTH EAST of the A6 from where it turns SE rises steeply along the whole route.
The area North of the A6 and West of the canal goes down moderately steeply.
The rest of the area has relatively gentle slopes rising mainly eastwards.

Reserving a map

As usual, we need to know the approximate numbers of runners so that we can ensure that we have enough maps for all.

Maps and Question sheets for this event will be printed on Monday 11th February, so to reserve a map for the event, please email Grahame at ,  indicating the number required, by 5pm on Sunday 10th February.

If you are a "first-timer", please provide details of your club, and year of birth, along with your name.

And don't forget ...

All competitors MUST wear a high-visibility top.

There are no exceptions to this, and no excuse for not wearing one, as we can lend you one if you have forgotten yours.  

NO High Viz top, NO GO.
