Notes about the course:
Catering
Please note that hot
drinks will be provided throughout the day but you will
need to bring your own packed lunch and a folding camp
chair if preferred which can be left on site for the 5
days.
Location and facilities
The course will be held on a private estate
in Redford, West Sussex (between Midhurst and
Liphook) – location and details will be forwarded
to applicant upon payment of the course. Due
to the nature of the course, the toilet facilities
at best will be a basic dug latrine with hand
washing facilities.
Please also bring a change of clothes and
footwear for going home and any additional clothing must
be appropriate to the weather. The site has been very
muddy in places so the walk from the car park to the
site should ideally be done in wellies! We will drive
your equipment into the work area for
you.
N.B. We need you to provide a passport
sized recent photograph of yourself on the first day to
process your registration –this must have your name and
date of birth written on the back.
