The Cwmyoy Horseshoe Fell Race

A traditional fell race. Glorious scenery into both England and Wales and taking in a short section of the Offa’s Dyke footpath. The route starts by winding up through Cwmyoy village and passes the famous ‘wonky’ church. There’s then a steep climb up onto Hatterall Hill followed by some stunning fast ridge running. A little bit of route choice down to the final checkpoint – I’ve deliberately staged this race before the bracken is up – and then back to the Village Hall. Please familiarise yourself with the nature of the fell race route. It is not a navigationally complex race in good visibility, but you should be aware of the route and where the checkpoints are. Refreshments and prize giving will follow. The route will be flagged outward until you meet the open fell and on the return from the ridge and after Checkpoint 2 through farmland.
