Blubberhouses Moor
Blubberhouses Moor is a waymarked walking and running event organised by LDWA - Nidderdale. The route is approximately 23+ mile and is expected to be completed within a 9.5 hour event window. It starts and finishes at Bland Hill and passes Swinsty Reservoir, Fewston Reservoir, Thruscross Reservoir, Rocking Hall, Bolton Abbey, Beamsley Beacon, Round Hill, Ellarcarr Pike and Timble.
Entrants must be 16 years or older; anyone under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Entry is limited to 250 participants and there are no entries on the day. The entry fee is listed at £8.00. The event includes a certificate, a badge, some checkpoint refreshments and a hot meal at the finish with a vegetarian option.
There is a mandatory checkpoint control system. All checkpoints must be visited in order and entrants who do not comply may be retired or disqualified. A mid-route checkpoint has a cut-off time; entrants who do not depart that checkpoint before the cut-off will be retired and will no longer be the responsibility of the organisers. Retirements should be made at roadside checkpoints only, where transport back to the start is provided.
Organisers advise carrying an OS Explorer 297 map and the recommended personal kit: map, whistle, compass or GPS, waterproof jacket and overtrousers, first aid kit, survival bag or blanket, emergency rations and a mug. Dogs are not allowed and parking should be done with care on adjacent roadsides. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
