Directions
The Epynt ranges can be access from the A40 at Llywel Church about 1 kilometre to the west of Trecastle, which itself is about 10 km (6 miles) to the west of Brecon. Below is a map showing directions from Llywel to the paddock. The route from Llywel to the paddock will be arrowed.
Please note: The ranges will be in use by the army for live firing exercises on 17th June. Please read attached safety briefing for the Sennybridge Training Area (a.k.a. Epynt Ranges) and make sure you keep to the rules stated, both for your own safety and to ensure we have continued access to Epynt for motorsport events.

Facilities
We will have access to an army building which we are using for signing on. That building also has toilet facilities (male & female). The building is in the paddock area so is therefore about a mile away from the end of the course.
There will be a catering van at the paddock serving the usual burger and bap-type fare. The club will be providing a “goodie bag” to marshals in the form of sandwiches, crisps etc.
There will be a PA (public announcement) system at the paddock only. All other communication will therefore have to be by radio observing usual protocols.
There are no marshal's huts.
What you need to bring with you
We would expect experience hill marshals to bring with them all the usual gear and equipment they would normally bring, such as whistles and gloves and preferably dressed in orange Proban overalls.
New/novice hill marshals note: please wear clothing which you don't mind getting dirty and in which you have a full range of movement. Any colour EXCEPT RED please, red is reserved strictly for the red flags. We will have some pairs of gloves available, but if you can try and bring some heavyweight leather gloves (e.g. welding gloves) then that would be much appreciated. Sturdy footwear should be worn.
Like some other venues there are no marshals hut/shelters, so please be prepared for what the weather may bring, whether rain or shine.
Thank you again for your help in running this event. Without people like you giving up their spare time there would be no motor sport events. I hope you all have a great day and that we have a successful event which we can build upon in the future.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or Martin Leonard (01874 658463).
