INFO:
If you come late, it will be about a 25-min walk to our location on the

any problems finding us.
RAIN:
In the event of light or medium rain this event will NOT be cancelled as we will use rain ware and take cover as necessary. In the event of heavy rain/strong winds (e.g., typhoon conditions) or lightning then the event will be cancelled or stopped if already in progress.
Let’s have fun enjoying our local nature while making it better at the
same time.
