Safety:
All walls must be crossed by designated crossing points as damage to these will affect access to the area in the future. There may be some cattle in a small part of the area, please respect them by giving them space. Please take care on minor paths for tripping hazards as there are many tree roots exposed above ground. As always please pay attention to low hanging branches when in the wooded areas.
You must report to the finish and download after the event, even if you retire.
Waterproof jackets will be made compulsory if conditions require it.
Social Distancing and Other Covid Related Precautions
