We provide transport from Park Foot Holiday Park (check-in area) to the starting points. Buses will depart from Park Foot Holiday Park, ensuring a smooth journey to the start. Please note, participants are responsible for arranging their transportation to the check-in location. Mandatory Check-In Process A few days before the event, you’ll receive an email with your BIB number and a QR code, essential for the mandatory check-in. Keep an eye out for the schedule of the mandatory check-in. If you have additional luggage, inform our staff during check-in, and they’ll guide you on the next steps.

Checkpoints are open every day in the periods specified for individual checkpoints. During checkpoint working hours, our staff will assist you in obtaining your HIGHLANDER checkpoint stamp, water, and food. Participants can collect their event checkpoint stamp, along with water and food, during specific times allocated for each checkpoint. The operational hours for these checkpoints will be announced as the event date approaches. Please note that if you fail to obtain the checkpoint stamp, you are disqualified and are not entitled to the HIGHLANDER title, Pin, Patch, or Certificate. The participant is the only one responsible for collecting the stamp at each checkpoint. ### How should I prepare for the festival? This event is much more than a leisurely stroll. To fully enjoy our trail, pre-event conditioning is crucial (we suggest 200 km of hiking in the months leading up to the event). It’s also important to test your gear for functionality before embarking on your journey. The Lake District’s climate is varied, even in summer. Expect wet, mild weather, with summer temperatures typically ranging between 10°C and 19°C, though they can reach up to 26°C. Be prepared for different altitudes and corresponding weather changes, including possible 4°C temperatures with 45 mph winds at the summit. Packing Right Your backpack might get heavy, so practice carrying a load between 5-7 kg, gradually increasing to 15-17 kg. For the Lyra format, aim for a maximum of 10 kg. Ensure your hiking shoes are well broken in, and consider ultralight backpacking techniques. Pack only essential items, favoring natural materials like merino wool for its quick-drying, anti-fungal, and anti-odor properties. Aim for a fully packed backpack weight of under 17 kg (10 kg for Lyra), excluding food and water. Mountain Essentials Expect rainy conditions with high humidity and cooler nights. Pack accordingly with both dry weather and rain clothing, including a cap or hat, gloves, a long-sleeve t-shirt (preferably wool), hiking and rain pants, and a rain jacket. You’ll need LPG or alcohol/gasoline for reheating food. Familiarise yourself with reading GPX maps and using a compass for navigation. For Hercules and Pegasus,… ### Can I book onto this as a team?
