Motorhomes
Many of the approach roads to some of the race sites are narrow and winding with dry stone walls on both sides. Although we expect most days to have motorhome parking; for day 5 we may require Motorhomes to use hard standing at Haverthwaite crossroads and get a lift from this location with fellow competitors who pass this point.
Will start times be allocated for colour coded competitors?
Start times will be open for colour coded competitors.
