Arrivals
It is important that participants arrive during the times stated for each course. You may miss part of the course if you arrive late. The standard arrival time for weekend courses is after lunch between noon and 2pm on the first day. This allows you time to set up your tent etc. Please check the arrival information you will be sent for the different courses, as starting times may vary. Please let us know if you have any difficulty arriving between these times. Also let us know in advance if you want to be picked up from a local train or bus station.
If you are travelling a long distance to the course you may be able to arrive and get set up the day before, this must be agreed beforehand and may incur a small extra charge.
“This course will appeal to everyone experienced or not with the outdoors.”
