Participant declaration

Each participant must agree to the following participant declaration when completing the entry form:

You agree that you have made a realistic assessment of your capabilities and are undertaking a course which best reflects your mountain skills and fitness. You will be prepared for the worst possible conditions and understand that the competition area is very isolated and these hills are exposed to serious weather. You agree that although the organisers will ensure that the event is as safe as possible, your safety is ultimately your own personal responsibility, just as it is with any trip into the hills.

You accept full responsibility for your own safety and any injury sustained during the event. These are not the responsibility of the event organiser, their agents or the landowners. You know your limitations and are experienced enough to make a reasoned decision whether to not start the event or to retire from the event rather than jeopardise your own or other people’s safety.
