Snow and Fire

Two weeks ago we had a blanket of snow on Ilkley Moor. Last night, a moorland fire above White Wells.

Both serve as a timely reminder of two important safety issues for fell runners:

1. No smoking. Neither on the course nor at assembly.

2. Competitors must bring and expect to wear or carry the following safety equipment:

·     Waterproof, whole body cover

·     Hat

·     Gloves

·     Compass

·     Map

·     Whistle

The Race Organiser may relax some of these kit requirements depending on the weather conditions

This is an official FRA fell race held under FRA Rules. All senior competitors and consenting parents or legal guardians of junior competitors must read, familiarise and comply with:
