Given that this is an exposed mountain area please bring cagoules and whistles in case they are required. Saturday’s weather looks like bright but cold.

The Car Park at the cafe will be open from 10 am and the cafe will be open from 11 am until 4 pm, so take the opportunity to have a snack or some food after you’ve had your run.
