SAFETY: As with any outdoor activity, there is some inherent risk. Whilst we aim to avoid unnecessary risks, participants should take all reasonable precautions themselves.

Those attending are totally responsible for their own safety. You must be comfortable walking the specified distance in order to attend please.
