Due to several large events on site, Phasel's Wood Staff will be marshalling the car parks. Upon entry to the site you will be asked which group you are with. Leaders should say that they are here for Brent Roar on Seymour Field and you are a leader. You will then be directed to the leader car park by our site. The site have assured us we can park 100 cars in the small car park.
Parents should say they are here to drop off their YP for Brent Roar and will be directed to the Phasels Field where you park and then walk your young person over to a representative from your Scout Group. Once a few parents/YP have arrived. The leader will direct you down the path (Marked in Red on the Map) to the side of Cedar's lodge, where we will sign your YP in, and a leader from your group will take you to the relevant site. The parents should then return to their cars and leave. The YP will need to carry their kit for the last 50m by themselves. (There may be spare leaders to assist).
