All vehicles will be left at the campsite in a designated area for the day, the woodland basecamp is a 30 minute walk away so a relatively good level of fitness is required. The group will walk 10 minutes along a country lane before joining onto a woodland trail for the remainder until reaching basecamp. All attending the course should be wearing suitable sturdy outdoor footwear.
