Level of event: National
Type of event: Race
Welcome to a new limestone area with few walls or paths. Brilliant views of Ingleborough to the west and Pen-y-Ghent to the east.
The competition area is predominately between 300m and 400m altitude, and very exposed. The weather can be very unpredictable.
Whistles will be compulsory.
In addition, all competitors must come to the event with a seamless waterproof top, gloves and hat. There will be notices at assemby to notify you if you are required to carry or wear these items.
If retiring during the race please only head for the Finish, which will be staffed. Moughton, the southern part of the area used by the longer courses, is surrounded by quarries on the east side and steep crags on the southern and western sides. There are a few paths down into Crummackdale, to the west, but it is a long way to any road or accomodation, as well being very distant from the Assembly area. A descent into Crummackdale is not recommended.
Parking and Assembly will be at Horton Playing Fields Association. This is located at the north side of the village, adjacent to the B6479. O signs will only be displayed at this entrance.
Unlike many minor Dales Roads the B6479 is a generously wide road, other than in Horton village itself.
Please drive particularly carefully as you approach assembly. You may encounter fellow competitors walking on the pavementless road for 120m between Horton Rail Station and Assembly

Limestone plateau, predominately between 300m and 400m altitude. There are significant areas of surface limestone. Take particular care if wet.
Dogs are allowed in the assembly area but under close control please, and please clear up any mess.
Similarly dogs are allowed on the path to the near start and finish, but must be on a short lead as you will pass through fields with sheep. There may be some cattle on the Sulber part of the area, part of the Ingleborough National Nature Reserve. This includes the areas around the Near Start and Finish.
Dogs are not allowed on the Courses.
