Course Description

Official CTT Course Description

START (OS Landranger Series Sheet 89 Grid Ref NY237237) at the white mark on the kerb just past the junction of the old A66 with the new A66. Proceed in a south-easterly direction along the A66 to the Keswick roundabout at the junction with the A591 Keswick/Bothel road (2 miles). Encircle the roundabout and retrace along the A66 past the start and HQ and along the A66 until Cockermouth roundabout (14.9 miles). Encircle the roundabout and retrace along the A66 past Bassenthwaite Lake, past HQ and past the start to Keswick roundabout for second time (27.8 miles). Encircle roundabout and retrace along A66 to FINISH opposite HQ on A66 (30 miles) (NY232238).

HQ Description

The HQ is sometimes at Braithwaite Village Hall (NY233241) which is on the east of the A66 opposite Braithwaite Village - this tends to be for open events. Toilet, shower and changing facilities are available in the village hall. If permission to use the village hall has not been granted (or sought) then the HQ is most likely to be a quarter of a mile towards Keswick where the old A66 turns of the new road - no facilities are available here. This is where the start is.
