Event Day Info

sent by Organic Adventure on 07/08/2018 at 07:07
Good morning,

We have a few bits of event day info for you, this is all up to date!

Please make sure you know where the event HQ is and just as importantly where you are parking, there is NO room for any vehicles attuned end and if you park on any of the little lanes near by you will be putting the future of the event at risk with the local community.

Nothing much has changed from what has been on the website but always good to have all the info fresh and in one place.

See you bright and early at the weekend ready to take on the challenge of your lifetime or of this month at lease.

Good luck to you all...
