The
walks are led by experienced leaders who, on a voluntary basis, are there
to ensure the correct routes are followed, with all walkers being responsible
for their own safety. The organisers wish to ensure that everyone enjoys
these walks and are well prepared, so it is advisable that you read the
guidance symbols and booking conditions.
Health It is the responsibility of all walkers to ensure that they are physically fit enough to take part in the walks that they have chosen and that they wear appropriate clothing and footwear. Age All children under the age of 14 are welcome but must be accompanied by a parent or guardian over the age of 18. Starting Time Please arrive at the start point at least 30 minutes prior to the start of each walk in order to register. This is especially important for walks that include a bus journey. Walks will commence at the quoted start time whether all participants have arrived or not. Weather The walk leaders will be at the starting point whatever the weather. However, in exceptional weather conditions, the walk may be re-routed or cancelled thus ensuring your safety. Dogs Where dogs are welcomed on a walk, this is indicated by the symbol. Dogs may accompany these walks but must be kept on a short lead at all times. Clothing / Footwear Adequate and comfortable footwear is essential with the appropriate clothing for the conditions likely to be encountered. It is recommended that walkers bring some food and drink for the duration of the walks where applicable.
