Does anyone fancy having a go at this one next year?
Routes -The routes (approximately 26 and 15 miles) follow footpaths, byways, tracks, and minor roads, and with the kind permission of the Duke of Rutland, goes through the Belvoir Estate. Both routes start and finish at Harby Village Hall and are clearly way-marked with coloured tape. There are checkpoints roughly every 5 miles providing free drinks and snacks. (The Belvoir Challenge is well known for the homemade cakes provided, and is one of the few events where you can actually put on weight!) Entrants can retire at checkpoints where transport is available back to the school.
Ordnance Survey maps covering the area are:
1:50000 (Landranger) - 129 and 130
1:25000 (Explorer) - 246, 247 and 260
1:25000 (Pathfinder) - SK62/72, 63/73, 82/92 and 83/93
