Demonstration content. This event was written for the prototype to exercise the calendar, its filters and its accessibility fields. It is not a scheduled HHFT event.
November to March are the least crowded months on this corridor. There is no sensor behind that sentence and there does not need to be — it is just true, and it is the kind of thing a visitor is better off being told than left to discover.
Getting in, and getting around

- Yes

- Terrain
- Level throughout. In January the surface may be icy; we grit nothing and neither does anyone else, so if ice is a hazard for you, please check with us on the morning.
No toilets in the park. No shelter if the weather turns; we will cancel rather than run it in freezing rain.
Every heading above appears on every event, including the ones where the answer is no. A missing heading is ambiguous; “ASL interpreted: No” is information.
