## Following continued trespass and damage to property THE LANDOWNER HAS NOW WITHDRAWN HIS PERMISSION FOR THE HIKE TO USE ITS PREVIOUS ROUTE TO BLACK RHADLEY.
As of now the only permitted route from the A488 at grid ref. 325955 (north of Welsh Lodge) to Black Rhadley Hill checkpoint at grid ref. 344955 is via the public tarmac road:
- From the A488 junction at grid ref. 325 955
- via Nind junction at grid ref. 334 959
- via junction at grid ref. 345 952
- via track leaving road at grid ref. 347 961
- To Black Rhadley Chekpoint at grid ref. 344 955
ALL PREVIOUS ROUTES ARE NOT TO BE USED
There additional checkpoints along this route, 11X and 11Y, and all tallies MUST be punched at these points or you will be disqualified!
Exact locations of each checkpoint will be notified at the start of the hike
The organizing committee are saddened that after 43 years the actions of some people have made this necessary - blame them if you know them - not us!
