Have been reading website for 3 Peaks Race and have been reminded that in addition to compass etc, I need to know how to read a map, as you have find your own route!
Given I struggled to find Mr T-Shirt when I got out of the sea this morning my basic sense of direction would also seem to need to some work.
Have started preparation by goggling 'map references' and found http://website.lineone.net/~galaxypix/maprefs.html which I found useful, particularly picture with 513827 on it. I think next stage is for me to get a map of the 3 Peaks area, find the map references on the 3 Peaks Race website and then try and understand what map is telling me re terrain and best route - may need to ask Peter for help (he seemed to be able to distill a map quickly).
Also, need to sort accommodation for night before race - tomorrow's task.
P.S. All the above on basis that I satisfy Julie I am fit enough to do run
