donated a 'First Compass Rose' geocoin, a 'Proving Trail Award'
geocoin & a colour 'Trackable Patch', there will be a free draw
for people who attend on the day. Only one entry per caching team
will be allowed.
Disabled Access
I am sorry to say that the actual clean up area is not suitable
for wheelchair users.
Wheelchair users are still most welcome to attend, however the
parking area at Blackness Castle is on pebbled ground. The
refreshments will be on a lawn grassed area, accessible from the
parking area.
Equipment
Please bring wellington boots or hiking boots, warm clothes
& waterproofs in case of inclement weather.
Gloves and litter picks will be provided, but if you have your
own gloves please bring them along.
Press
There might be press present and pictures might be taken for
local papers.
Health and Safety
A full H&S assessment will be carried out prior to the
event. All person’s participating will have access to the H& S
assessment and will be expected to sign to say that they have read
and understood it.
At the moment the main concern is that no person’s (especially
children) should be on the mud flaps whilst the tide is out, as
they can be extremely dangerous.
