URGENT INFORMATION FROM SALTAIRE STRIDERS FOR ALL BMW LEG 1 RUNNERS.
Due to ongoing issues with the landowner at Marsh and threats to sabotage the event, we have decided to divert the route to miss out the farm as per the attached amended route description and maps, could you please make your leg 1 runners aware of this change. We will mark the changes on the day and make an announcement at the start.

The changes occur on the section from joining West Shaw Lane
instead of turning right down the side of the mill to climb to Marsh via the fields the route now continue's straight ahead on the road (West Shaw Rd), round the bend and up the hill (past the farm) to reach Marsh Lane on your right. Turn right on Marsh Lane continue on Marsh Lane until you reach a footpath on your left to Marsh Common. Turn left and follow this path up several fields to South View Farm. Continue up the lane to the road at Lily Hall Farm. Turn right and after approximately 50 yds turn left between the houses. Follow the track bearing half left up to the end of the leg just before the main car park of Penistone Hill.


Please keep posted to facebook or the forum for updated information leading up to the event this Sunday.

He sounds like a lovely fella!
