Format, categories and rules
The event uses a score format with a three-hour time limit. Competitors receive a waterproof map, control descriptions and a points value sheet. Participants select their own route to visit controls and score points; late arrival incurs point penalties. Terrain includes high moorland and limestone dales with varied footpaths, requiring route choice and navigation skills. SiTiming is used and kit checks are carried out.
Mandatory kit follows the FRA minimum: waterproof whole body cover (jacket and trousers with taped seams and attached hood), hat, gloves, map (provided), compass, whistle, emergency food and a survival bag. Categories total 15: ten solo or pairs categories and five mixed pairs categories. Pairs may enter all categories and age category is based on the oldest competitor. A parent or guardian and under-18 category requires the junior to be at least 14 and the accompanying adult to be over 21. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
