No U turns is just about avoiding any silly or dangerous road manoeuvres while you’re milling around before your start time and in sight of the time keepers.
Arrive at the start time keeper at least 5 mins to go and queue up. Don’t go out too hard. Haha. It should feel easy for the first 10 mins at least.
Also do a bit of Google mapping from HQ or wherever you’re warming up to the start. It’s not unknown to get lost and miss ones start time.

Yeah I like having lots of time for fell races and you basically have nothing to do, I’ll probably be very early if I’be got a bike to deal with.
Can you explain the U-turn bit? It’s an out and back course, I’m assuming I’ll just be firing out for 12.5 miles then turning at the roundabout. Or is that while you’re waiting to start? Are you all just in a queue in order to set off?
