ARRIVING AT THE LAMM
Fill up with
fuel before you leave the last major town
as there is no reasonably priced fuel
for miles around.
When you park at the event location
those arriving first will in general park
furthest away.
Be prepared to carry your kit to
the Event Centre & camping area in
a rucksack. There is a wet route from the parking area of about 1.3KM (worth
wearing event footwear) or a dry route
of up to 2.5KM, all depending on where
you are parked.
Wilfs will be present to feed you and Compass Point
will provide kit for the event.
Sorry - no dogs are permitted at
the event.
FOOT & MOUTH PRECAUTIONS
We are very
fortunate to be able to hold the event
this year.
In consultation with the estates
we have agreed the following preventative
measures that you must adhere to without fail.
EVERYONE: Wash and scrub dirt off all footwear being worn or
brought to the event
IF YOU COMING FROM A LOCATION WHICH HAS HAD AN OUTBREAK IN
THE VICINITY SINCE 15TH MAY:
Wear clean clothes, shower and wash hair before setting off
Find a car wash north of a line from Glasgow -> Edinburgh and use a power
wash, concentrating on the underside of
the car and wheel arches. Dirty cars may not be allowed onto the estate!
IF YOU ARE BRINGING A TENT USED IN THE UK SINCE 13TH
FEBRUARY: Sponge the groundsheet with a fairly dilute disinfectant and then rinse
with water.
When you arrive at the Event Centre, look out for and park near the
“STOP - DISINFECT ALL SHOES HERE” sign. Everyone must get out of their vehicles, then dip all footwear being carried and worn in bowls of disinfectant
(dilute citric acid).
There must be NO EXCEPTIONS.
Return to your vehicle and drive
onto the estate over carpet impregnated
with disinfectant.
THE EVENT
Maps
(2 per team) will be handed out on the
way to the start.
Maps are not waterproof so please
ensure that you take an 18”x24” map bag
with you and if the weather is really
bad we suggest that you save one map for
use on the second day.
Also carry some money with you
(a note) in case you get stranded miles
from the Event Centre.
MERCHANDISE
18”x24”
map bags, waterproof pens, videos of Jura
1997, the handbook “Mountain Navigation For Runners” by Martin Bagness
(at a special event price of £4) and maps from previous events.
Additional maps from LAMM
2001 may also be purchased at the end
of the event.
EVENT T & SWEAT SHIRTS
This
year we will offer another eye-catching
design created by Stuart Brown at Lowe
Alpine and printed onto charcoal tee shirts
and zinc sweat shirts. The garments will be the same price as last
year - tees are £10 and the sweats are
£16.
They can be purchased during the
weekend in the marquee and should these
sell out, a mail order list will be compiled
and items despatched by the end of July.
BUNKHOUSE ACCOMMODATION
On
your entry forms you have indicated that
about 80 of you would like bunkhouse accommodation
for £12 per person – breakfast not included.
We only have space for about 40 people
and places will be allocated on a first
come, first served basis. To be
on the safe side it is best to come to
the event equipped to camp at the Event
Centre if all the accommodation is taken.
To take advantage of the accommodation
both team members must come to the Information
Desk at registration together to request
and pay for accommodation. There
will be a walk of approx. 1KM from where
you park your car, so you’ll need to be
able to carry all your kit in a rucksack.
TAKING THE COACH FROM INVERNESS OR GLASGOW TO THE LAMM
If
you have already notified us of your wish
to join a coach for transport from Inverness
Airport or Glasgow Bus Station/Airport
on the Friday afternoon/evening, your
name should now be listed on the LAMM
web site. We will be providing full details of how the
transport will work by 12th
June and these will be sent to those without
access to the web site. It is not too late to take up this offer, but
please return the Coach Booking form (sent
out with the entry form or accessible
on the web site) to us as soon as possible. Coach ‘managers’ will try to ensure that connections
are kept with late-running trains, coaches
and flights, so long as we are made aware
that people are arriving on them.
CAN YOU HELP?
We
almost have enough helpers now.
However, if you are thinking of
coming to the event but are not competing,
and would be willing to work hard at parking,
registration, marshalling competitors,
the starts, finishes, and the mid-camp,
please telephone us on the number below no later than 7th June. We would prefer helpers who can commit
to helping from Friday afternoon and for
the whole weekend.
