- Areas of the Retreat may be closed for safety reasons. Out of bounds areas will be communicated to you when you arrive.
- The communal fire acts as a focal point and is for all to use. Please assist in gathering and cutting firewood
- We do have a water supply, but it requires filtering and boiling before drinking. Please help as directed.
- Cutting tools such as knives, axes & saws are in continuous use. Use them at your own risk. If you do not know how to use them safely, please tell us and we can show you. Do not be offended if we critique your skills.
- Personal first aid kits should be used for minor scrapes & cuts but more comprehensive first aid kits (containing trauma supplies) are located at both the top and bottom camps. They are red and will in plain view.
- Unless advertised for a specific event, food will not be provided. That said, there is often an informal Jacob’s table if you fancy sharing your feast?
