Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th October 2021.
Kielder Campsite, Kielder, Northumberland, NE48 1EJ.
For every down hill there is a nice tootle to get to the start. Expect a 22 mile loop to get all the stages under your belt.
The enduro is £75 and gets you registered for the event.
You can park nearby or you can camp. There are a number of optional extras for the campsite. These are for both Friday and Saturday night inclusive and are per pitch.
For the environmentally conscious among you there is also the opportunity to purchase an event tankard for £5. We will not have disposable glasses of any kind at the bar so please bring your own pint glass or buy a tankard and we’ll have it waiting for you when you sign in.
Entry includes a safety team, marshalled and sign posted route, comms cover, feed/water stations, lots of prize categories for the race, bucket fulls of descending.
Clearly a campsite only has a limited amount of space and the pitches have all been snapped up. The lists of those people who booked a pitch, hook-up, glamping pod or static are all shown below.
People going to the campsite will be met by the campsite staff who have the same lists as below. If your name is not on the list you will turned away and will need to park in one of the car parks or you have sorted alternative arrangements. The car parks do allow overnight stays. If your name is on the list then you’ll be placed by the stewards in the best place available. They have a plan so please go with it.
If a group of people have all booked places and want to be together then the only advice we can give is to meet in a nearby car park and then all arrive together.
Those people who have booked a standard pitch are listed below. Note that all pitches will have vehicles on hard standing.

If you have booked on to the campsite then your parking is all sorted, you’re already there! For those who have taken alternative accommodation or live nearby there are a number of Forestry England pay and display car parks within walking distance. A map showing the campsite in relation to the car parks can be seen below:
Registration will take place in the marquee at Kielder campsite which can be easily found from the main road or anywhere in the Kielder area. Postcode NE44 1EJ
The joy of having this event on a campsite is full use of the wonderful showers, toilets, washing up, bins etc. This does come with the caveat of having to stick to the rules of the campsite.
The campsite is within a stones throw of the local village and any chemicals leaking into the water will ultimately end up in the norths main water supply (the reservoir). As such the campsite has a strict no generators rule.
As mentioned above there is a village nearby so please try and be quiet after 11pm. We’re not asking you for complete silence and all go to bed, we’re just wanting to just tone everything down through the night.
The big rule in flashing lights at this time of year is STAY OFF THE GRASS with vehicles. There has been a lot of rain recently and the losse surface gets cut up very quickly so the only rule the site staff insist on is to keep vehicles off the grass. Easy ups, gazeebos and tents are all fine but the vehicles keeps its wheels on firm ground.
There are no cut-offs as such but each stage has fixed opening and closing times.
If a stage needs to be abandoned due to an accident or trail failure and a large amount of riders have not been down then this stage will be removed from the overall timing results.
A medical team will be on site for the both practice day and race day. If you are treated by the medical team please allow them to fill out the required paperwork and take any COVID precautions required.
The nearest A&E hospital is Cramlington.
We may need to modify the route or even cancel the event, if circumstances beyond our reasonable control arise, such as, but not limited, to a force majeure (event that is a result of nature e.g. severe flooding). Should this arise and it is deemed to negatively impact upon the safety of the event we will communicate this to you as soon as practicable via the e-mail address you have provided. A decision to cancel the event may in extreme circumstances be taken on the day or during the course of the event. The safety of competitors, spectators and race officials and volunteers is our overriding priority.
Should the event be cancelled we will do everything possible to reschedule the event to a future date. All entries will be carried forward to this new date. Should the event be cancelled due to these circumstances and due to the fixed costs associated with the event we will not be able to provide refunds on this basis.
In the event of abandonment, postponement or cancellation of the event we will have no responsibility for any associated costs of competitors including travel and accommodation costs.
