Note Car parking update 28/10/2018:suggested park on the showground car park (plenty of space) which is unfortunately £5.50 / day. The entrance is on the A6 900m SE of the roundabout in the centre of Bakewell. Meet at the first hardstand parking on the right by the first payment machine. Or park where you like and meet there anyway.

Saturday: RC Navigational Challenge Starts & (hopefully) finishes at Bowden Bridge Car Park in Hayfield (GR SK 049 869) at the Junction between Kinder Road & Edale Road with interval starts from 9.30am. The course will be a series of Checkpoints around and about “Kinder” and her kindred fells. Maps, with Checkpoints marked and zip-seal plastic bags provided. The course will be 12 to 18+ miles depending on the participant route choices and how many checkpoints they visit. Those taking part can compete alone or with others as they wish, all will require appropriate kit for the event, i.e. fell shoes or boots, full waterproofs, hat, gloves, clothing for the weather conditions on the day, compass, whistle and enough food to keep you going! Prizes for those completing the entire course in the fastest time, plus some other prizes for “special” efforts & achievements on the day. Post event at The Sportsman Inn. Regarding accommodation, Hayfield Campsite www.campingandcaravanningclub.co.uk/campsites/uk/derbyshire/highpeak/ hayfield is just across the road/river from Bowden Bridge Car Park and they will still be open and have plenty of space with Glamping Pod options too.
Sunday: there will be a more gentle walk over Kinder on Sunday, picking up a few of the Controls and visiting some of the “secret” places on Kinder.
