Practical notes for attendees include that there is no general car parking at Bakewell Station other than for disabled motorists. Two large pay and display car parks are located about 500 metres from the station. The road to Bakewell Station is a no through road so drop off is not feasible. Hassop Station, about a mile along the trail, provides parking, spectator facilities and a café. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
