Stage 3
“Penk Ferny”
Stage 3: A solid trek in big country with teams completing a anticlockwise circuit of various peaks and valleys surrounding the Teme and Ferny Gair Conservation areas. Teams will face some big climbs and have to be judicious with their route choice. Options are available and there will be decisions to be made that avoids scrub and bush that can chock up certain routes. Daybreak and sunset could leave some lasting memories if the weather plays ball.
