Winter Season: November — March

Getting to and leaving Westermill Farm Camping

Whatever your route map…

  • On Westermill Farm ground CLOSE all the gates that you go through and by “closed” we mean “latched shut” so that it cannot simply be “pushed open”
  • IF you are uncertain as to whether you are on Westermill Farm — CLOSE the gate anyway
  • NEVER leave a gate open because another group is “right behind you”
  • IF you are unable to “close” a gate, in the above manner, note its location (a photograph of the gate and its environs will help) and report it to Westermill Farm or your supervisor as soon as possible
