Safety

Safety is of paramount importance – do not sacrifice safety for speed.

​

If you are cycling, please ensure that your bicycle is roadworthy.

​

Cyclists are strongly recommended to wear a helmet and reflective clothing, and to lock their cycles when leaving them unattended.

​

Please obey the Highway Code when walking or cycling on roads (www.gov.uk/browse/driving/highway-code-road-safety), the Countryside Code (www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-countryside-code) and the recommendations of RoSPA (www.rospa.com).

​

Children under the age of 13 must be accompanied by an adult.  If you are under 18 you must get an adult’s permission to take part.

​

The event is primarily for cycling, walking and running.

​

It is important to note that anyone using a motor vehicle must ensure that their own motor insurers know what they are doing and must have confirmation that their own motor insurance provides cover.

​

Horse riders must ensure their horses are insured.
