There are remote finishes on 5 of the 6 days.
On Day 2, the distances quoted are from the priority parking and toilets – the main parking is a further 2km away. The finish is 1km from the priority parking.
On Day 6 the routes to and from the starts & finishes follow paths and the longer lengths are needed to get competitors into the best terrain. Finding a location for Day 6 proved very difficult and we only managed to get access to Creag Meagaidh in the autumn. It is a superb location but the options for car parking / arena fields are very limited.
On other days walks from finishes are less than 500m.
