Safety

Competitors are reminded that Ramsley Moor is exposed moorland at 300m elevation and at night in the middle of winter can be potentially hazardous.
You must wear or at least carry a waterproof hooded jacket. This will be checked at the Start. If it is particularly cold hat and gloves are strongly recommended.
Whistles must be carried. No whistle - No Go.
Carrying a mobile phone is strongly recommended with SYO emergency number 07493 183323 pre-programmed into the memory.
Please advise Registration if you intend to carry a phone with you.
Please ensure your batteries are fully charged and your lighting equipment is working before going to the start. A spare emergency torch is strongly recommended. The moon will be almost full but can’t be guaranteed to give much light in the event your head torch packs up.
Don’t forget Competitors are responsible for their own safety.

Other Information

The area is popular with dog walkers and occasional horse riders. They have just as much right to be there as you so please be considerate and give them a wide berth.

Dogs are welcome in the Car Parking areas but must be kept on leads at all times.
