Your safety
If the red flags and/or lights are hoisted, regardless of the timings, do not enter the training area. This is a danger to life.
When firing has finished on the complex, the red flags will be lowered and gates unlocked starting on the west side of the complex at Ash Vale (Furze Hill) and continuing in an anti-clockwise direction. The gates on the east of the complex near Henley Park and Stoney Castle Ranges may not be opened until around 5pm.
