GETTING HERE
Please encourage participants to cycle, car-share or come by bus.
PARKING
We have space for approximately 16 cars (1 van = 2 cars)
There is a 300m walk from the carpark downhill to the woods.
We provide wheelbarrows for you to ferry equipment to the woods.
There's a possibility of help in our 4x4 for an additional £20 cash. This is not guaranteed though as it is old and tempermental, so be prepared to transport your kit down and across the stream stepping stones.
LIVE-IN VEHICLES
If any of your group need to sleep in their vehicles please be aware the carpark is on a slope, and no farm facilities are available for use near the carpark (please use the water tap and toilet in the woods only).
Please ensure all visitors are quiet walking up the hill near the barn or carparks after 9pm.
