Useful Information

• This training is not suitable for those under the age of 16
• The session will be approximately 3-4 hours long out on the shore
• There are no toilet facilities at the site.
• The terrain we will be on is uneven and slippery so appropriate footwear is essential (wellies or wetsuit boots)
• Please wrap up warm and bring waterproofs.
• Parking is available in the car park just next to Par Docks (PL24 2SQ.)
• There is a 10-15 minute walk from the car park to the beach, which include steps to a footbridge, which is unsuitable for wheelchair access. Final access to the beach is via a short slope between the rocks.
• We will provide all survey equipment but do bring a rocky shore ID book if you have one.
