The event uses West Heath School on Ashgrove Road, Sevenoaks, TN13 1SR for the event base and parking is in the school car park as directed by marshals. Dogs are not permitted on site due to school ground rules. Participants must carry a printed route description, maps and a compass; the OS Explorer 147 map covers the area. Route descriptions and GPX files will be made available on the Kent group webpage in the week before the event. Participants are advised to wear suitable footwear and clothing and to carry a torch for low light conditions. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
