THREE RINGS OF SHAP
EVENT DETAILS & RULES
18.6.16
This is the twelth year for this 100Km. (62 miles) Challenge Walk for those who wish to complete all three Rings (in order 1,2,3). In addition we are offering each Ring individually and three walks of two Rings:
Ring 1 18 miles Ring 2 24 miles Ring 3 20 miles Rings 1&2 42 miles Rings 1&3 38 miles Rings 2&3 44 miles
(N.B. We reserve the right to withdraw any options that are insufficiently supported.)
Please note that each Ring will only have ONE manned checkpoint at approximately half distance and will just provide cold drinks and simple food. More substantial fare will be on offer at Event HQ throughout the event. Be prepared to carry your own supplies of food & drink if you want to supplement this provision.
Remember to bring a MUG as we are not providing them.
Walk HQ – SHAP Memorial Hall (NY 564 151). This is also the Start/Finish and site of intermediate checkpoints. Personal effects can be left here during the event. We hope to be able to offer showers again this year, if desired – albeit at the swimming club across the playing field. There is a public Car Park next to the Hall but additional facilities are planned on the day – please park as instructed. The Hall is sited centrally in Shap, which is just 2 miles from Junction 39 of the M6. The nearest rail station is 10 miles away at Penrith with a bus link from Penrith bus station to Shap, currently at 07.30 (traveline 0870 6082608, www.traveline.org.uk). There are several pubs and B&B’s in Shap (www.shapcumbria.co.uk or Penrith TIC 01768 867466, www.eden.gov.uk).
The Strickland Arms at Great Strickland will be the site of the midway checkpoint on Ring 2 again this year.
