tl;dr ?
- Parking is limited, please car share or ride up. Do not park on any grass verges in the village or block any drives. Be polite to any locals who take issue with your parking.
- The course is challenging and the surface is what can best be described as "variable" in places and potholes are far from unknown. Recce the course beforehand and familiarise yourself with both the route and hazards such as (but not limited to) steep descents, rough surfaces and hedge gaps (if windy). Ride to the course and choose your equipment accordingly. This is not a course for power meter watching.
- Do not cut the corner at the Right hand turn at Scots Gap. This is the easiest way to get DQ'd. The next easiest way to get DQ'd is to use the centre line as your racing line. Roads are narrow. Stay left.
- Sections of the course are very remote and it's a long walk back if you can't fix a straight forward mechanical or puncture.

Riders should obey the highway code at all times and in particular not cut corners or takes risks with control of their bike on steep/long descents and into corners.
In addition to their personal safety riders also have a responsibility to the sport to ride in both a fair and safe manner.
