Checkpoint 3 Monk Coniston
When you approach Monk Coniston extreme Caution should be taken, this area becomes very busy for supporting vehicles as this is the last point to support your team before they make their way down the east side of Coniston Water.
DO NOT FOLLOW THE EAST SIDE OF CONISTON WALK ROUTE
From Monk Coniston proceed via the main road on the west side of the Lake to Lowick and the Red Lion. This route avoids the East Side of the Lake road completely and we appreciate that it is a long stretch for the walkers. Therefore, we have arranged for an official support vehicle to patrol the section and render assistance where required. Anyone needing medical attention will be brought down to the first aid unit adjacent to the Lowick Check Point.

Lowick has become an increasingly popular meeting and spectator viewing place.
Their is a field supplied for support vehicle parking, please park sensibly and don’t block entrances and exits, used sensibly this field can accommodate a lot of valued parking.THE JUNCTION WILL BE POLICE PARKING CONTROLLED ANY OBSTRUCTION OR PARKING WHERE THERE IS POLICE RESTRICTIONS WILL RESULT IN A POSSIBLE PARKING TICKET
DO NOT FOLLOW THE WALK ROUTE “OVER THE TOP OF KIRBY MOOR”
From Lowick proceed on the main road via Greenodd and through to Ulverston from here you can make your way up on to Kirkby Moor and intersect the route, but please do not drive the walk route. From Ulverston you can proceed to the village of Marton to rejoin the walk route. Again, it is appreciated that the walk route from Lowick “over the top” to Marton is particularly arduous and again an official support vehicle has been arranged. This will collect the halt and the lame and take them to the Marton Check Point, or, if necessary, the first aid post at the Black Dog.

Marton Checkpoint 7
The village of Marton is very restrictive for support vehicles, caution on these roads should be taken at all times. Hopefully you’ve not followed the walk route from Lowick and have made your way via Lindal or Dalton in Furness.
On the outside of Marton village, a field has been made available, used sensibly the field will accommodate approx 40 – 50 vehicles to park. Please refrain from driving through the village as it is very tight for walkers when support vehicles come through. Please respect the local village people and adhere to all Marshals and Officials.
BROUGHTON ROAD NORTH OF THE ANIMAL PARK TO THE JUNCTION AT THE BLACK DOG PUB WILL BE CLOSED. ACCESS ONLY TO RESIDENTS.
Checkpoint 8 - Dalton in Furness and on to Barrow and parking in the designated areas around Hawcoat Park Sports and social Club which is on Hawcoat Lane, LA14 4HF.
