Yes, you should be okay. The grass in the field has been mowed, and run flat as it was a car park last week. We may have to change that if its too windy, and make sure its out, contained. etc. We've several fire extinguishers on site and so can borrow one just to be on the safe side

If you click on the below links it will give you the start and end of the green lanes (not sure if you have to download what3word app first), camp location, petrol stations and lunch stop. I might add a bit more green lane depending on how the times going. I'll bring some paper copies along as well a a map of the route. Can people confirm attendance just to give me an idea of numbers and for those camping what time on Friday they are likely to arrive. On Saturday I was thinking of getting going by 9.30ish

For those who didn't come last year - although the access to the site is into a caravan pitch area don't pitch your tent/park van in this area, the place to pitch your tent is at the other end of the field to your right as you go through the gate
https://w3w.co/value.orbit.absorbing
If you go through the second wooden gate you can drive up the concrete road instead of up the edge of the grass field to get top the other end
Please don't wander/ride around too much before 4pm as its a working site with lorries, vans, forestry machines all likely to be moving around the area. I'll come up later in the day. No problem if people want to explore the woodland later in the day (after 6pm). If you stay in the woodland you cant really get lost, or end up somewhere you shouldn't be
