Recommended Kit
Everyone is free to roam the hills at will, but for organised club
runs we felt a system needs to be in place to ensure that everyone,
particularly new members, are looked after.
A major potential problem is of inexperienced members going off route and
getting lost, but anyone, including the fastest and most experienced
campaigners, might be unlucky enough to sustain an injury and be faced with a
long hobble home.
All members and others on Cosmic Runs are expected to carry the
following essential kit: compass, whistle, map, mobile phone, full body
cover (appropriate for the
conditions), emergency food. A headtorch is also sensible for september runs. Please note that this is almost the
same as the compulsory kit required for races, so it will do no harm to get
used to carrying and using it. It
is for our own safety that we carry the kit.
One person is to take responsibility at each club run and will
give a short briefing before the start. They
will check that everyone, especially new members, know where they are going,
check who is taking which route, indicate expected finish time (how long we
wait before someone is considered overdue), and do a head count. Anyone
who is intending to divert from the normal route, or breaking off early to head
home for instance, should make this known at the briefing.
The “Responsible Person” will be a member of the
committee or another experienced club member (volunteers are welcome and can be
added to the list of contact numbers).
Information and a map with contact numbers will be circulated by
email with the reminder for each run. In
an emergency dial 999, or dial or text 112 (text may often be better when
mobile reception is poor).
This
does not absolve individuals from responsibility for their own safety when
taking part in a club run.
