There is little if any marking of the course so, if you don't know your leg, please try to make an effort to do a recce run in advance of the race. It would be a shame if anyone missed a checkpoint or got lost through not knowing the route.

Details of the routes and checkpoints can be found here: http://bcruickshank.brinkster.net/page11.htm. Please also note the requirements for safety equipment etc.

The race is run over the Lomond Hills in mid-winter and will require full body cover (waterproof top & bottoms, hat & gloves) to be carried or worn at all times. A map of each leg (1:50,000 OS sheet No 58 and 59) and compass and whistle must also be carried. There will be compulsory kit checks at each stage changeover and any team failing to comply will be disqualified.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if you would like to arrange a recce run of your leg. I'll do my best to coordinate with people who know the various routes to see if we can arrange something in the next week or two.
