1 Instructions for Support Vehicles These instructions have been prepared with the support of Cumbria Constabulary who have expressed their concern for the safety of walkers from the actions of some less responsible support vehicle drivers. The following instructions and support vehicle routes are directed at keeping the walk’s low accident record and avoiding traffic and walker congestion of the walk route known to be potentially hazardous. Marshals will be in attendance to control the walk and their directions should be followed at all times. Please display your Team Name and Number in your Support Vehicles at all times and please adhere to these instructions and note where they say “NO SUPPORT VEHICLES” ICE In Case of Emergency – 07523 838843 THANKYOU IN ANTICIPATION FOR YOUR CO_OPERATION PLEASE READ CONISTON to BARROW WALK www.keswick2barrow.co.uk

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. No Parking on this Road First Aid
