What should you do in the case of an emergency ?

Most importantly DON'T PANIC. Initially alert the head marshal at the closest check point. Reporting any incident preferably in person and in full detail to the head marshal of the closest check point /or in cases where you have to stay with the person, ask another walker to take the responsibility to do this for you. It is vitally important that the name and event identification number of the injured walker is given to the head marshal for him then to alert the event organisers and other check points not to expect that person else where on the route.

The public emergency services have asked that all rescue operations are co-ordinated by the event organisers in the first instance. So PLEASE try calling the satellite mobile phone numbers, which are provided in the useful contact numbers section of the info pack area, or even better use the army communications or landlines which are situated at each of the check points. These are accessible via the head marshals.

Though if NO immediate contact can be made, then dial the regular emergency services ("999").

The following numbers are given in good faith and are to be used only in emergencies.
Please refrain from general use and again keep the army signals at each checkpoint for emergencies.
