Lakes that are partially located on the territory of other states are not considered for this challenge.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bicycles, skates, etc., are not permitted, but you are more than welcome to hike or run.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can take as much time as you like to complete a single lake. This means you can circumnavigate it in stages over several days.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Iron Lake Challenge Wales has no time limit. This means you can take several years to complete all ten lakes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We trust that you have truly circumnavigated the lakes. However, if you wish to be included in the time rankings, we will need a copy of your tracking. We don\u2019t mind which device or service you use (whether it\u2019s a watch, smartphone, or app).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong><strong>General Information \u2013 PLEASE NOTE!<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Please note that traffic rules apply in public areas and along roads and cycle paths.

The operator of this website assumes no liability whatsoever.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please follow any medical advice or have a medical examination before starting the challenge. You are responsible for your own health, equipment, and physical condition. There is no shame in canceling a tour; your health always comes first!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>A few important rules for respecting nature during your lake circumnavigations:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Please observe local instructions regarding nature conservation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please stay on the marked paths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please keep noise to a minimum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please do not collect stones or minerals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please do not collect mushrooms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please do not leave any litter behind. On the contrary, many of us even pick up litter along the way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please do not feed any animals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please do not light open fires.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Please do not pick any plants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This should be common sense for all of us, but it doesn\u2019t hurt to be reminded from time to time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">YOUR MEDAL AND YOUR MARBLE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you have circumnavigated the ten largest lakes in Wales on foot, you will have earned the beautiful Iron Lake Challenge \u201a<em>Wales Edition<\/em>\u201a medal.
