Hello All'
I do not know the Oakhill College area other than looking at a map. There is no train station close by and accommodation is in opposite direction to closest stations. If we drive up from regional areas could someone tell us where available parking is at or near the college please?
Thanks
Rita

Hi Rita
If you go to the Home page on Riskassess, in the News section at the bottom are details of training courses. The details relate to the Launceston course, but still click on the link "safety courses". In the "Details" section there is a flyer about transport, parking and accommodation.
