UPDATE 11th NOVEMBER ROAD ACCESS:
As of Saturday afternoon Firestone Copse is accessible from both ends. Hopefully this is still the case on Sunday morning. We apologise if this is not so and you have to U-turn and approach from the other end, Wight Fibre have been vague about which end to gain entry!
UPDATE 8th NOVEMBER ROAD CLOSURE & ACCESS:
The road between Wootton and Havenstreet has ‘Road Closed’ signs at both ends due to Wight Fibre work over the next couple of weeks. We have been assured that access to Firestone Copse car park will be possible. Wight Fibre are starting work at the Wootton end, therefore access to the car park would only possible from the Havenstreet end. This will be confirmed later this week. Please check back here at the weekend for any further update.
NEW DATE: Event rescheduled for Sunday 12th November.
UPDATE SUNDAY 29th OCT 08:00hrs: The Firestone Event is cancelled due to adverse weather conditions.
