Safety and your participation:

The core hope for my walks is that they are enjoyable and memorable experiences for everyone so we will keep to a slow and steady pace. It's about taking in the views, learning about the area and being outdoors in nature. You are also responsible for your own health and safety and there can be risks with all outdoor activities. You'll be asked to complete a medical form before the walk to let me know of any medical conditions prior to the day.

Whilst I plan and recce my walks, they are still subject to route adjustments where weather or other route conditions change in the days leading up to or on the day of your event. Any alterations are to ensure your safety and ensure you still get an enjoyable time out.

I am a qualified Hill and Moorland Leader and Outdoor First Aid trained so will be on hand in case of an emergency.

Dogs:

Dogs are more than welcome to come along, however, there may be roads, livestock around and other dogs, so they will need to stay on a lead for parts of it.

Cancellations and Weather:

This walk will be going ahead whatever the weather, unless I decide that the conditions will be dangerous. If I do have to cancel the walk for safety reasons, I will suggest one more date f
