The 71st Anniversary staging of the Yorkshire Three Peaks Fell Race takes place this year on Saturday 25th April from the usual Playing Fields in Horton in Ribblesdale. RAYNET have been asked to provide the usual safety radio cover and as a consequence we are seeking the large number of operators this event requires.
- Static mobile locations
- Lowland on foot locations (some walk in, some drive in)
- Mid level on foot locations (a bit of walk in, self sufficient)
- Fell top locations (completely self sufficient, competent hill walker)
- Minibus radio operators (now 70cm handheld duty)
- 3 control operators (me + 2 to keep me calm :) )
- Talkthrough operators
I know some people like to return to their favourite spot, others might like to try something new or you may be new to the event and have a location you’d like to try.
If you’re interested in helping please let me know along with the type of duty or favourite location you’d like to cover.
As with previous years, free camping is available on the event field both before and after the event. If you’d like to camp please let me know in your reply so we have an idea of numbers.
Could I please ask that group controllers forward this to their group members and other potentially interested RAYNET operators.
Many thanks.
