PIONEERING
Pioneering Poles are kept on rack beside barn – please be aware that the poles have been on site for some time and we would recommend that they are not used for high level bridges and structures

WATER ACTIVITIES
Ropes, poles and plastic drums for raft building are available in the barn.  However, it is the  Guider‘s/Scouter’s responsibility to provide –
Safety equipment (helmets and lifejackets etc.)
A qualified person to supervise the activity with the appropriate permit for the classification of water at the time of the activity

Regrettably, during the Covid19 pandemic our landing stages were damaged and are no longer safe to use.  It is our ongoing hope that we shall replace these, but at this stage they are not available (Hardiman Fields May 2023)
