Physical Accessibility
Fordell Firs is an accessible Scout Camp with level access to all accommodation buildings.
In addition to the accommodation blocks there are wooden huts, a large activity hall, woodlands, large camping fields, an amphitheatre with log benches, and a bushcraft camp with log seats and rain covering.
The site is a mixture of sloped fields and woodland. There are tarmac footpaths between most accommodation blocks and the car park. The exception is the wooden huts intended for use in-game by the Scavengers- there is a footpath over grass alongside a wooden fence (see photos below).
Please email Clarion.LARP@gmail.com with any questions. Our contact at the site is very helpful and will measure doorways and count steps as requried.

site map
Here is the map of Fordell Firs. It should be noted that there is a nursery school on site that will be in-use on Friday, and so there may be vehicles moving around site. These should be treated as in-game soldiers moving about, best get out of their way!
