Tips from Wee Adventures:

It’s four-seasons-in-a-day April, so depending on the weather, be prepared for your children to get muddy and wet and dress accordingly! Hooded waterproof jacket and trousers, gloves, warm hats or sunhats, and trainers, walking boots or wellies are essential.

Bring a rucksack/bag for spare layers, water, sunscreen, personal medication etc.

Tips from WSWG:

Juice, drinking water and some Easter nibbles will be available for children and accompanying grown-ups but please bring your own snacks and warm drinks if wished.

Please email WSWG or Sarah if you have any other questions about the event.
