Parking
Is available at the finish car park also alongside Hackness Church & school (on the same side of the road).
No parking in the lay-by at the foot of the hill as this is reserved for timekeepers etc.
Please do not warm up on the course once the first rider has started, there is another hill a ¼ mile to the east past Hackness Hall and under the stone bridge you can use.
The results board will be in the finish car park area so please wait here once you have finished.
Note:
There are no headquarters for this event but facilities are available at Hackness Village Hall ¼m south from the start.
It was hoped to use the village hall for the HQ but there is an arts & crafts fair on, tea & scones etc are available.
