Please note these workshops are all ground-based. We do not need to physically get on top of the boulders at Fairlop to learn the skills!

T&Cs: Each workshop is strictly limited to 6 people in order to maximise individual learning.

No refunds, name changes are allowed. 

The closest car park is right next to the boulders, don’t use the main Fairlop Waters car park (10 minutes walk away). This is a RingGo pay car park.

The closest toilets and cafe are a 10 minute walk away, please plan accordingly.
