Pennine Winter Handicap - 2011 / 2012 - Race Five
(but race four for the Series calculations)

Sunday 22nd January - Chunal



Starting at 10.00 hours from the Grouse at Chunal.
Please visit the Checkpoints in the order given.
Maps will be provided and will contain the checkpoints, the boxes for punching the controls and, on the reverse, the detailed descriptions of each checkpoint as printed below.
A poly bag to keep the map dry and legible would probably be a good idea.
Ian reckons the route is 6.7 miles with 2100 feet of ascent and that the winner’s time should be around 1 hour 10 minutes.

There are kites and punches at each checkpoint.

The Junior race will start immediately after the last Senior runner has left – probably about 11.00 -ish.

As usual, adult assistance with the Junior race will be very much appreciated – in fact we can’t really run the Junior series without your assistance, so your presence will be most welcome.

Post-race Relaxation and Presentation of Junior Certificates will be in the Grouse.
