The Route

THE ROUTE

We don't disclose the actual route until a few minutes before the walkers leave the Start on the Saturday morning - Sorry !!!!.

The majority of the walk will take place in the Chiltern Hills through Buckinghamshire and surrounding Counties.


	Although it may look tame on the map, in February the conditions can be very severe which is why we expect all walkers to be prepared for the worst (See the Rules).

At the start of the event each team will be handed a set of six figure grid references. At these points we will have manned checkpoints. You are to plan and walk your route to meet these checkpoints in the given order. Each Team must carry two sets of maps - this is for safety and it is a good idea for two people to map read - means you are less likely to get lost.

The address for the overnight sleeping & start :
Icknield Community College, Love Lane, Watlington, Oxfordshire, OX49 5RB
