Route amendments affecting day 3 camp and day 4 start

Llynoedd-Leuan-Area-UPDATE-(WEB).jpg

We have two amendments to sections of the route, coincidentally within 4km of each other. Please note these amendments now. You also have an option to re-download the Day 4 GPX, however, this amendment will be easy to copy over onto your event map at the event registration and Day 3 overnight - where we will always have a general Event Updates notice board. It is actually reassuring that we have only had this one change to our route - we are pro-actively in touch with many stakeholders on this event.

The amendments are detailed as follows;

  • Day 3 (last 1km): The overnight campsite has been moved to an equidistant field. No need to note this particularly, as you will be steered towards the finish by some waymarking.

  • Day 4 (km 4-5): There is a wildlife sensitivity issue* that has been raised for a section of pathless moorland. Our workaround is a recommended route that actually matches the route taken by 50% of the 2015 event participants, and does involve some steeper ground and a mixture of path types. You MUST NOT take access through the red Out of Bounds area now marked. 

*Though nothing as exciting as escaped wild boar, wild lynx sitings or golden eagles!
