Children must be accompanied by an adult and children will at all times be the responsibility of the accompanying adult(s).

All equipment provided. Please dress for the weather conditions on the day (sunhats or waterproofs etc.) We have uneven ground and gravel pathways at Blashford so we recommend a sturdy boot or trainers regardless of the weather.
