The route

We’ve finally reached the day the Selection Weekend begins and it couldn’t have come sooner as we all eagerly await our time of departure out from Sheffield and into the Peak District. Temperatures were as low as -10C last night but cloud cover tonight should be on our side making our first night a bit warmer. It can be confirmed that the minimal distance we will be covering is 25.8km but this doesn’t account for any optional control points we visit. The provisional route can be seen below:

This past week has ensured the whole route will be snow covered but this does have its advantages. The better visibility at night will definitely be welcome when erecting our tents / igloos. Although we’re not banking on this sort of weather for mid-summer in Morocco, it will be a good test for everyone involved for an ability to cope with difficult conditions. It should be a great weekend and good luck to everyone involved. Finally, keep a tab on this page as it gets updated throughout the weekend.
