Directions:

Vehicular access: From A4010 Wycombe Road to Princes Risborough turn off on to Small Dean Lane opposite the Golden Cross Pub, look out for the Chiltern Rangers A Board that will show you the right turn into the NT Depot Car Park.

What to bring:

Please bring your gloves (we will have spares) and dress for the weather and the task.

Long trousers are advisable as there may be ticks and thorny vegetation. We also recommend wearing steel toe capped or sturdy boots rather than trainers.

Wear layers that you can remove if you get hot whilst working. Bring a waterproof as most of our sites have no shelter from the rain.

Please bring plenty of fluids and a packed lunch. We will bring a tea kit and biscuits.

Access: We will be working on sloping ground today

Please note:

Biscuits are served at all Chiltern Rangers sessions. Please advise if you have an allergy.

Sometimes there is a need for us to use power tools that can be noisy.
