• Hat/beanie, gloves, sunglasses
• A friendly spirit :-)

MEETING POINT
Outside the Kilcunda general store

WEATHER CONDITIONS
If it is RAINING heavily, keep an eye on the App as I will probably CANCEL the day before. Will still go ahead with small amount of rain.

DIFFICULTY GRADINGS
Easy – A general fitness/experience level is required for “easy” events. The distance/course may not be too demanding but must not be underestimated.
Moderate – A solid fitness/experience level is required for “moderate” events. Expect challenging distances/courses. Such events are not for everybody. Build up gradually.
Hard / Extra Hard – An advanced fitness/experience level is essential for “hard” and especially “extra hard” events. Read ALL the details of the event thoroughly before signing up. Participants must have recently accomplished similarly intense events. If you’re not sure do NOT sign up as a misguided choice will probably put yourself and the whole group at risk.

MEDICAL CONDITIONS & SPECIAL NEEDS
If you have any relevant medical conditions or special needs please advise the event leader immediately on arrival.

SAFETY & RESPECT
• During all events everyone has the right to feel safe and respected. If at any stage you experience or witness unacceptable behaviour please advise the event leader immediately.
• The event leader has the right (and duty) to prevent someone from participating in the activity if they do not have the necessary clothing, food/water, equipment or disposition to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for themselves and others.
