Parking is in the main Tapeley car park. There is a short walk down a steepish slope from the car park to the Forest Club area
There are three roadside parking spaces along the edge of the woods (still requiring a short walk down a slope into the woods itself) – please advise me if you would like to park here.
The ground is uneven and the forest environment includes natural obstacles and trip hazards
The workshop will go ahead in all weather – shelters are provided, but please come prepared for outdoor conditions
Please note: If the workshop is cancelled by myself, a full refund will be issued. In the event you are unable to attend yourself, please let me know. I will issue a full refund if the place can be re-allocated to someone else, or at my discretion. Please keep an eye on your emails (including junk folder!) as I will get in touch with a change of plan if necessary.
