Please wear covered shoes that you will feel comfortable walking over mixed terrain in e.g. Grass, Gravel, Leaves, Mud. There are uphill slopes, potentially slippery grass on hidden paths and limestone that could be wet. As this is an outdoor experience in the winter, so as the old Scandinavian saying goes “there is no such thing as bad weather, just a bad choice of clothes”. We advise to keep an eye on the conditions via the met service website, as the event will happen rain, hail or shine. We advise you to bring a warm jacket regardless, keep wet weather gear at the ready and an umbrella just in case.

We will not be operating a coat check so please bring bags if you expect you might need to carry extra clothing with you.

The trail is mainly flat with limestone paths or the main vein up Black Barn road. There are a few uphills and a “short cut” grass path to Rush Cottage.

These paths are not intended for people with reduced mobility. Please contact event organisers in advance if there are questions around full site access for persons with mobility access requirements. We intend to have an all inclusive event, so we have done our best to make sure your loved ones are able to get around the site in a safe manner. This will, however, be your responsibility on the night.'
