Code of Conduct

Please make sure you have read and comply with the Participant Code Of Conduct and Parent Code Of Conduct.

Directions / Parking

Willett Hill is most easily found by taking the B3224 from where it leaves the main Taunton to Minehead road. That is, just after Bishops Lydeard (close to Cedar Falls). After five miles and a short steep rise, the entrance to the forest is on the left.

Drive through the gate and gently uphill to the parking area and registration. If this area fills up, the track is also wide enough for parking.
