​

Refunds can only be given if you cancel with at least 48 hours notice before the walk.

​

Walks may be cancelled or cut short due to lack of participants or for health and safety reasons (including problems with the trail, dangerous weather conditions, serious injury to a member of the group). If an event is cancelled, you will be offered a full refund.

 

Health and Safety

All participants must complete and return a medical and information form prior to the walk. If you have a health issue it is your responsibility to take appropriate steps to safeguard yourself. Please contact the walk leader in advance if you wish to discuss the suitability of a walk for your fitness level.

​

All walks will begin with a safety briefing. Participants are responsible for listening to safety instructions and advice given during the walk. The leader is not responsible for any injury resulting from a failure to observe this advice.

​

Walk Logistics

Walks will aim to start at the advertised time. Latecomers may be left behind. If you have issues due to train times etc the leader may agree to adjust the start time if you contact them in advance.

​

Walk timings are approximate. Please leave enough time to complete the walk and ensure you have paid for a suitable amount of parking time.

​

Equipment: participants should read and follow advice on essential and useful equipment. Failure to come properly prepared may result in you not being allowed to join the walk.

 

Conduct

​

All walkers are expected to behave in a courteous, friendly and non-judgemental manner towards other walkers and those we meet on the trail. Please approach divisive, sensitive or controversial topics with extra respect, care and kindness.

​

The walk leader reserves the right to discontinue the walk at any time and also to refuse participation.

​

Participants should not walk under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
