What is Escape Rammy
The Scout Event, Escape Rammy, is an exciting and challenging activity for Scout groups, which tests their navigation and evasion skills in the stunning West Pennine Moors. The aim is to complete the course from the Pack Horse pub car park in Affetside to the finish point on Lumb Carr Road, south of Holcombe Village, whilst avoiding being caught by the catching teams. The event requires teams to work together to plan their route, carry appropriate equipment and stay alert to avoid the catching teams.
The event is open to teams of 4 to 7 Scouts, with each team having a leader. All team members must register online prior to the event, and complete an entry form, provide emergency contact details and pay the £3 entry fee per team member. On the day of the event, teams must confirm their details at the start location and be ready to start at 9:30 am.
The rules of the event are strict, and teams must follow marked footpaths, bridleways and other rights of way, including minor and residential roads. Main roads and private land are off-limits. Teams lose a life when caught by a catching team, and the winner is the team that finishes the course with the most lives remaining, having finished within the finishing window of 12:15 pm to 12:30 pm.
