Specific Issues

Water is usually switched off if no others on site. Instructions on how to switch the water on are located on the hut wall and will be sent to the expedition manager. Electricity also requires switching on, the switch is on the outside of the hut on the rear wall.

Midges can be an issue in the summer.

If it is a parent drop off please let the farm at the end of the road know this is happening if possible. Participants need to be dropped in the lay-by on the road and walk up.

A lot of the paths in the area are not walked on frequently and can be hard to find.

Lots of fields have cattle in, brief participants.
