  • We will not be held liable for any additional costs or expenses incurred by you as a result of the cancellation of your booking.

 

On the day

  • A kit list is provided on our website for your information. It is recommended that this is studied in advance and you arrive adequately equipped for the day ahead. We reserve the right to refuse entry on to an activity anyone who we believe is inappropriately equipped to deal with the conditions that may be encountered (no flip flops!). No refund will be issued.
  • We will wait no longer than 20 minutes after the specified meeting time for any late arrivals. If you are running late, please make every effort to contact us in good time (though please note that phone signals are often non-existent in remote places).
  • No refunds will be offered for participants who miss an activity due to late arrival.
  • If you have any issues or illnesses that you think may affect you or the group during the day, please notify us discretely at the start of the activity.
  • We operate a zero tolerance policy to drugs and alcohol. Should usage be suspected we reserve the right to exclude you from the activity. No refund will be issued.
  • Smoking – We would ask that smokers respect the rest of the group and either refrain from smoking during the day or do so at a discrete distance during rest stops. Please ensure no litter, including cigarette ends, is left behind.
  • We will make every effort to achieve the goals of the day. However, we are unable to control the weather and should conditions make it too hazardous to continue, we reserve the right to select an alternative lower level route, amend the intended route or turn the group around as applicable.
  • A good level of fitness is required for all activities, with mountain walking and scrambling being particularly physically demanding. You should expect to be out for at least 6 hours on a variety of terrain and in a range of weather conditions.
