Weather restrictions

Extra care is required when using the whole Rope Bridge experience when wet from rainfall or in snow/icy or windy conditions.

This is advisory and represents a Health and Safety consideration that is no more or less relevant to any pathway, walkway or passage within the local environment, the Rope Bridge does not represent any additional risk with regards weather conditions other than the generally recognised risks of being under trees during the occasions of a lightening storm or the likelihood of a lightening storm.

A policy for obtaining and interpreting weather forecasts may be needed. It must be clear who is to do this, when it is to be done and what action they will take for a range of forecasts. Although the location may be generally open and possibly available to visitors in inclement weather conditions, there need to be specific decisions regarding use of a Rope Bridge when wet, icy or windy.
