The Route

Northern Section

  • There will no longer be a check point on Hey moss. This avoids seeking permissions.
  • By removing the checkpoint the whole section is now on minor roads or public rights of way.
  • Important competitors follow the right of way and do not drop off early.

Central Section

  • New route avoids the busy Snake road and the sensitive parts of the Kinder plateau.
  • The whole section is now on minor roads or public rights of way
  • New check points at Snake Summit (layby) (4) and Hayfield Scout Hut (5)

South Section

  • Again the whole section is on minor roads or public rights of way
  • As opposed to the route marker in the Goyt there will be a new checkpoint located in the Car Park at the bottom of Shooter's Clough (8) This to help ensure the competitors help us by keeping to the public right of way
