We have ordered the weather for a Great British summer. If the sun does shine, please come prepared with water, sun cream and a hat. If the weather isn’t so good, then please bring waterproofs. Many of our events will be enjoyed more in strong, comfortable footwear. Some of the terrain may be rough, steep and muddy.
