The walks are being led by volunteer leaders, who are familiar with the routes and will help bring the group together, but do not have any specific qualifications or insurance. Hence participants are entirely responsible for their own safety and take part at their own risk.
Get Outdoors involvement in this walk is limited to spreading the word that it is taking place for the purpose of supporting the fundraising effort of those involved.
Please remember waterproofs, walking boots/shoes and a packed lunch and water.
Dogs are welcome, but are entirely the owner's responsibility and must have a lead and be under close control at all times.
If encountering livestock do not walk too close or get between a cow and calf. If threatened, let go of your dog so it can escape and reduce the risk to yourself.
Please keep to public rights of way and respect landowner’s property.

Countryside walking can often include hills and uneven terrain.
The group ethos is to support everyone to achieve their maximum potential in terms of completing the route. As such, the group will endeavour to walk at a pace all participants are comfortable with. We apologise if this causes any frustration to faster walkers.
