They can stay in the refuge huts as long as they like. The 30 minute rule is just for Malham Tarn, Horton In Ribblesdale Cafe, Dufton Village hall and Forest View Byrness.
They are going to be desperate for some sleep at Bellingham, so arriving late, i.e. with only a couple of hours to spare and knowing you then have no chance without bivvying until Hut 1 is going to mentally tough.

Back marker no. 173 Yan L'hostis has around 21 miles to go to Bellingham, with the terrain ahead and the speed he is moving its going to take him around 9 - 10 hours. If that's correct, it gets him in an hour or so before he's got to exit CP5.

Thanks for the explanation slogger.
Sorry your attempt wasn’t as successful as you’d have liked - but well done for being good enough to get on the starting line.


I also found your comments about kit check interesting - there has been a bit of speculation here about the mandatory kit list cf the size (small) of some of the packs.

This is in the FAQ on the Spine web site https://thespinerace.com/faq/

MONTANE® Spine® Race & Challenger
There may be up to three additional minor check points (Malham Tarn, Dufton, Byrness) but they aren’t intended as places for you to sleep necessarily, in fact Malham Tarn and Dufton have a 30-minute maximum stay rule. But they will all provide hot drinks, toilets, medical staff, weather updates and race information. Greg’s Hut (after Dufton, as you descend Cross Fell) is usually also occupied by race staff, who may well offer you noddles.


No reference that you can't stay longer than 30 minutes at Bryness. Have the rules changed and the web site not updated?

Congratulations, you can get a free pint now - if they don't give you one then tell them I'll pay. 

Good, but brief video of her at the finish - guess what it is snowing!

I see Ridge has went offline so I'll answer for him as I've also been keeping an eye on him. Hendra Wijaya, number 229 is still going and at the moment is approaching the bit where you cut off Hadrians Wall path and down towards the forest, which won't be much fun if it's as muddy as it always seems to be, even in summer.
LDWs done - 32 in total including 16 National Trails and 3 C2C

Spine Race rules No.14. "Monitoring Locations such as CP1.5 (Malham Tarn), Dufton & Byrness are subject to a 30 minute maximum indoor stay."
The cafe in Horton is not included as pubs, cafes shops etc are allowed to be used.

Thanks. Shame the web site wasn't updated. I couldn't find the rules.

173 at the back is moving very slowly, no way will he make the cut off and if I was the organisers I'd be getting someone out to check on him
Where there's a will ...
