No doubt a heavily hyped social media campaign (e.g. Cheviot Goat) would change things, if that's what the race organisation wanted? From being at Honister on race day this year I got the impression the current set up is fairly minimal, though functional. So perhaps they are happy keeping it low key? If I hadn't known the 10 Peaks was on I would have assumed the CP was a slightly OTT BG support team.

flanker Nov 2019 9:43am, 27 Nov 2019 18,801 posts	0 flanker Very fair point But at the moment I just need to get myself fixed so I can get back out on the fells and start putting the training/recces in, otherwise the 10 peaks short course will be a challenge, never mind a BG.

Honister CP was indoors and served warm food when I did it, so sounds like they’ve simplified it a bit (or just didn’t have the numbers to afford to hire the place). Been distracted by calendar browsing and now wondering whether to do Ennerdale or Buttermere Horseshoe instead of 10P. Don’t know either area that well though so would need a recce. Hmm.
