The Hepplewhite Two Day Trial

3rd May, Croglin 2, Cumbria

The first day of this trial is known as‘ Jigger’ s Jug’, but the origin is mysterious. The trial is the annual battle with the bluebells and thrash round the rhododendrons. Richard Sharp is setting out this one and should have it pegged and numbered before dusk because, as you must know, this is vampire country.

4th May, Hay Fell, Kendal, Cumbria Day two is named the Raymond Baxter Trial. Hay Fell overlooks Kendal, famous for its minty assault on the nation’ s teeth. This is a very different site from Croglin, being higher and drier. Look out for rocky outcrops of limestone which make a change from the sandstone further north. Jeff Armitstead will be drilling the holes and lowering the poles.
