The Bala Challenge - Rules
 

All participants take part “at their own risk”.

All participants confirm that they are in good health and/or have taken medical advice on any health condition that may affect their ability to undertake the walk.

All participants must not be under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

 All participants must register, and check-in (where they will be issued with an identification (ID) number) at the start located at Penllyn Leisure Centre, Bala.

 All participants must check-out (by stating their ID number) at the relevant finish:

  • Bala Lake Ramble: Bala Lake Railway Station at Llanuwchllyn.
  • Bala Lake Circuit: Penllyn Leisure Centre, Bala
  • Bala Challenge: Penllyn Leisure Centre, Bala

 All participants attempting the Bala Lake Circuit and Bala Challenge must check-in at the checkpoints and the last “Opt-out” check-point by giving their ID number and advising that they are continuing the walk.

 Any participant who is unable to check-out, at the relevant finish, must inform the organisers as soon as possible after abandoning the walk (e.g. by informing a marshal/official or telephoning the Central Control using the phone number given in the route description).

 Participants attempting the Bala Lake Circuit and Bala Challenge must abandon the walk if they arrive at the last “Opt-out” check-point after the cut-off time (transport will be provided to the finish, up to 30 minutes after the cut-off time).

 All children (anyone age 17 and under) must be accompanied, during the walk, by a responsible adult (aged 21 or over). It is the responsibility of the responsible adult to decide if the activity is suitable for the child and be responsible for the child. It is recommended that the maximum group size per responsible adult is 6.

 Participants should follow the defined route and must not walk along railway track.

 The route is over working farmland and participants agree to follow the Country Code.
