Reccy Session 2 for Mammothon
Welcome to our series of point to point reccy sessions on the Mammothon route
The aim of our Reccy sessions is to show you the route, give you the confidence to use a map, compass and the route description to find your own way on the event day and to provide an advance look at the course.
The sessions will be fun and informal guided walks and will give you the opportunity to meet some of your fellow competitors and share tips.
Disclaimer:
These sessions are not part of the SW80K Festival and are not covered by its public liability insurance. The volunteers act as guides only and do not assume the role of leaders and take no responsibility for your safety on route. Everyone taking part in these events does so at their own risk.
Before you book:
Each session will be paced to reflect the pace needed to complete the whole event in under 12 hours. The group will go at the pace of the slowest person, but everyone will need to be confident of keeping with this pace over rough, hilly ground.
The cost of each session is £5.00 per person, which will be donated to the Discovery Centre’s charity work.
To take part you must carry the following:
Sufficient food and water as there are no refreshment stops on route.
Clothing suitable for the conditions on the day.
Map, compass and written route description. This is to ensure you are learning the route rather than just following the group.
A headtorch (session 2 only as this will finish in the dark)
For each session, please meet at the start point ready to depart at the appointed time.
All participants must take responsibility for getting to and from the starting/finishing points themselves.
