The Whernside Fell
Race
2010 Race
Saturday 25th September
Start 11.00am
From Church
Bridge, Dent (GR707871) after a short climb up to Deepdale Lane, you run
on the road for about one mile to join the Craven Way to Boot of the
Wold where you go right to head for the summit passing Whernside Tarns.
At the summit, run down to the head of Kingsdale to rejoin the Deepdale
Lane for a short distance before going on to the Green Lane known
locally as Occupation Road. Please note this year there is likely to be
a cut off time on reaching this check point after which time runners
will be compulsorily retired from the race. (watch out for details)
The track is then
fairly level to Blea Gills before you climb again to Great Coum summit.
It is all down hill from here to rejoin Occupational Road above Dent.
Run right along
the 'Occy' passing Flintergill before dropping down hill to the finish
where you started.
