Camping information
The event centre will offer space for camping for all competitors. The event centre will be open for pitching tents on the Friday evening from 6pm onwards.
On site there will be access to marquee space with tables and chairs for eating and socialising out of the elements.
There will also be drinking water and toilet facilities provided on the site.
Food
There will be no cooking facilities provided on the site and so it will be up to competitors to supply their own means of cooking food if required.
In order to control the costs of the event and due to the facilities available competitors will be required to provide their own breakfast, lunches and hill food for the event.
However, on the Saturday night of the event we will provide a communal meal for everyone. This will likely be a vegetarian/vegan chili. Please let us know if you have any specific dietary requirements.
For all other meals competitors will need to bring their own food.
*Please note, the event centre itself is in a remote area and therefore it will be key for competitors to ensure they bring sufficient food with them for the event.
