CC200718 IWA National Festival Canal Camp  20th - 30th August 2007 - directions

The accommodation for the Canal Camp will be at Hemingford Meadow, WRG Compound, PE27 5EJ.  Directions to the Camp are given and a map is below.  In addition there will be red WRG signs to follow.

All volunteers are requested to arrive between 3pm and 5pm on Monday 20th August.  If you are likely to arrive earlier than 3pm please contact one of the Camp leaders on the above numbers.  If you expect to arrive after 5pm then let the leaders know before the week so that they can allow for this in their plans.

There will be a Site Safety talk before anyone will be allowed on site – this is a legal requirement.  If for any reason you arrive after the safety talk, make sure that you receive a specific talk from the leader before you start working on site.

The theme of the end of camp party is ‘SAINTS’ – make sure you have a fancy dress organised!!

Public Transport

The nearest coach station is Huntingdon, although as services are few and far between, it may be easier to get to Cambridge. From there it would be best to use local bus services operated by Huntingdon & District Bus Company or Whippet Bus Company, to connect to St Ives. It would be easier to come by train, and the nearest train station is Huntingdon Railway Station.   Please contact the leaders in advance if you would like to be collected from the station. They need to know date and time of arrival and Station.
