The Four Inns Walk 2010
The next event is the 2010 event. The date for this is Saturday 27th March 2010.
How To Enter
An information booklet and booking form is available for download here or may be obtained by sending your request with a self-addressed envelope, after 1st November 2009, to
Mr T P Rogers,
“Penylan”
Monyash Road
Bakewell
Derbyshire
DE45 1FG
Telephone +44 (0)1629 813336
The booking form together with your fee should be returned to the above address before 8th March 2010. You will then be sent your Team Entry Form with your team number, starting and inspection times. This should be completed prior to the event and presented to the “Booking-in” desk on your arrival at Holmbridge. As it costs in the region of £10,000 to run the event, it is of great help to know how many entries we have as soon as possible. Budgets are all very well but “real numbers” make allocation of resources much more meaningful. Early entries therefore are most welcome.
How Much Will It Cost
The 2010 entry fee is £90 per team of 4 or £80 per team of 3 for entries received by 28th February 2010. Late entries, received and accepted after that date, will be subject to a £10 surcharge per team.
Refunds cannot be given unless a replacement team entry is received and not in any case after 8th March. All cancellations will carry a £5.00 administration charge.

General Arrangements
Teams arriving at Holmbridge during Friday night should go direct to the Parish Hall (map ref. 121068) after 18.00 hours, where they will be directed to their sleeping accommodation (there will be various locations within the local area). Accommodation and facilities are limited and, for this reason, only one supporter per team can be offered accommodation. Teams should return to the Parish Hall on the Saturday morning at the time advised (by the Booking In staff) for breakfast and kit inspection.
Meal tickets will be allocated at the Booking In table, meals at both the Start and Finish will only be issued upon receipt of the appropriate ticket. Disposable plates, cups and cutlery will be provided. No meals will be provided on Friday evening but meals are served at the Bridge Tavern in Holmbridge and also at The Fleece Inn at Holme. Sandwiches and biscuits plus hot and cold drinks will be available at most Checkpoints – carry your own mug!

Training For The Event
Competitors are reminded of the importance of the safety rules and their selection of equipment whilst training. Adherence to these rules is just as important during training as on the walk itself. Remember the weather prior to the event can be even more unpredictable in this area and less help is on hand in the event of any emergency.

Bus To Holmbridge – Sunday
