Support in the form of your Ride Captain is with you at all times. If additional support is needed then they will arrange that. 

A full kit list will be provided to you when you register, and you will not need any specialist equipment for this event.

Due to the location and the number of hotel rooms we cannot facilitate people who are not taking part in the event. If they would like to book their own hotel, flights and accommodation to come and support you then that is absolutely fine.
