Staircases may have uneven treads, or loose handrails – participants should familiarise themselves with any building they are using
All trap doors within building must remained closed for the duration, and all participants must make then selves aware of the location of these
All roofs and roof spaces are out of bounds
No open fires, except under the control of marshals and in approved burning trays (available from camp staff if required) – no tyres or other noxious substances to be burnt – only clean timber e.g. old pallets
No use of any building that is locked, and no attempt to enter any such building e.g. use of fixed ramps into high level confidence course buildings (nos 6 to 12)
No use of sewers or underground systems
No use of green latrines for event – they should be regarded as out of bounds except when required for toilet purposes (note: provide own toilet paper etc)
No waste to be disposed of in green latrines (this could result in a hefty bill for disposal of any waste when emptied, as all such contents become contaminated waste and will require special handling by outside waste contractors).
