Start 10 yards west of westernmost gate pillar to ‘old’ Sion chapel. Proceed through filter (care) and down L'Eree Hill. Turn right at L’Eree Hotel (MARSHAL) and proceed through normal 5 finish (2.63) and normal 10 finish (5.16), through filters at Cobo (MARSHALS), through Les Vardes (7.96) to Houmet Tavern where turn through lane (MARSHAL at yellow line in lane) around back of Tavern. Return through Les Vardes (8.96), through filters at Cobo (MARSHALS), past the normal 10 mile start (11.16), through the normal 5 mile start (13.62), to TURN (14.9) through ‘Lihou Triangle’ (junction of Les Sablons and Rue du Braye). CARE MUST BE TAKEN MAKING THIS TURN AS THE ROAD IS TWO-WAY AT ALL POINTS AND THERE IS A MANHOLE ON THE APEX OF THE SECOND RIGHT TURN. Also the exit back on to the main road is over a yellow line so you MUST give way to traffic from the right (MARSHAL). Retrace through normal 5 finish (15.49) and normal 10 finish (18.02), through filters at Cobo (MARSHALS), through Les Vardes (20.82) to Houmet Tavern where turn through lane (MARSHAL at yellow line in lane) around back of Tavern. Return through Les Vardes (21.82), through filters at Cobo (MARSHALS), past the normal 10 mile start (24.02), to finish approx 50 yards north of Vazon Martello Tower and 12¼ kerbstones north of drain (25S). Sign-On at L’Eree Car Park.
Very simple description: Start adjacent to Le Riche St Pierre du Bois. West to L’Eree Hotel. Then north along coast road to Houmet Tavern, turning into lane immediately past the Tavern, 1st right then 1st left back on to the coast. South to road leading up to Lihou Island (300 yards short of L’Eree Hotel), where turn through small triangle of roads. North on coast road for 2nd time, turn at Houmet Tavern as per 1st lap and finish just before Vazon Martello Tower. HQ and sign-on at L’Eree Car Park. Sign-on will close at 7.10 am to enable timekeepers and marshals to get into position.
The course is potentially very fast – saw a ‘54’ at Easter in very average conditions. Optimum will be a light to moderate SW wind.
