It must be read in conjunction with the Hazard Codes Where to Stay over the Weekend To really get the full enjoyment from GBR, I recommend that all your team, stick together over the whole weekend. Organise a place to stay, a meal for the Saturday night and support each other all the time. You'll take back memories which will stay with you for a long time, you'll make new friends and you will feel part of something really special. The link to accommodation will give you some advice for where to stay. It's not a complete list, but I hope it helps.
