Safety

This is a training activity which has been planned remotely with limited resources for completing a risk assessment. First aiders are not guaranteed to be in attendance and participants take part at their own risk.

Please be aware of the normal risks of traffic and trip hazards. Some lanes near the church have no pavement. One route choice is a path alongside the beck.

Emergency

Some postcodes have been printed on the map. If you carry a phone, the website whatsmypostcode.com will tell you your current postcode. Also printed on the map are 3 locations (2 on short course) of defibs. These have been identified using defibfinder.uk and have not been checked.
