Hillwood Working Bees and Reopening!

**NOTE: Climbing at Hillwood has not yet restarted, do not ruin access for everyone by thinking otherwise.**

Hillwood Working Bee (Saturday and Sunday)

We need all hands on deck to prepare our beloved Hillwood for climbing again.

This is STRICTLY a working bee event.

No climbing will be allowed.

Please bring:

• Water (refills will be available onsite)
• Snacks and/or food to share
• Long pants and long sleeves (for sun and stinging nettle protection)
• Close-toed shoes

• Any general hand-tools if you have them.

WHEN: Saturday & Sunday, March 9th – 10th, 9am start

WHERE: Meet at the Hillwood Football Oval to carpool. Do NOT drive straight to the Crag as the carpark is limited to 20-30 spaces and there is STRICTLY NO PARKING along the road.

___________________________________________________________________________

Please be considerate. We are not entitled to this crag and must treat it with respect. It would be devastating for CCT, Crag Care, George Town Council and the Tasmanian climbing community to put in all this time, effort and money, only to have a few thoughtless people spoil it. Given this, please ensure when you talk about Hillwood that you emphasise the importance of the following:

• Carpooling is essential. There is no parking along the road if the carpark is full. Either find someone to shuttle you in from the footy oval in Hillwood town, or go home and try again later.
• No camping or overnight stays.
• No fires or camping stoves.
• No animals.
• No firewood collection.
• No trespassing onton neighbouring paddocks and interfeering with livestock
