Acknowledgement
We are a small team working in an outdoor environment with limited facilities and we will do our best to accommodate. Informing us of particular needs will help us endeavour to make your experience with us as positive as possible. We work with empathy, openness and honesty and are always eager to learn. We acknowledge we are still learning and will ask for feedback.
