Please ensure your gear, especially footwear and socks, are clean, dry, didymo free and have no dirt or seeds before coming to the event. Also straight after the event do the same cleaning thanks. Our continuing use of public and private land is dependent on this. 

Event meal
Community fundraising through local provision of an after event meal has always been a part of Heights of Winter. This year, PAPO are proud to partner with a local school who will provide the catering. The 12hr event will have a full post-event meal. The 6hr event participants will have soup & a roll. 

From the HoW team, we wish you luck and hope you have a good day.
