Questions & answers

Q:
Is the Beacon’s Circuit achievable by a 5 year old?
A:
No. It will be too tiring for a five year old. Also the ground is too uneven with cracks. Child’s foot will get stuck. Too dangerous.
Q:
Where is the best place for accommodation? I am looking for somewhere quite close.
A:
It depends on your requirements. A youth hostel close by is ideal if you want a no frills stay. Otherwise there are so many b&b’s locally.
Q:
Where can we park? Thanks
A:
A car park by Storey Arms pub, LD3 8NL
