Advisory note:
This is a not for profit group intended as a social event for people who share an interest in the natural world. You are responsible for your own safety and welfare so please come appropriately dressed for a long rural walk taking account of the prevailing weather conditions. Should you participate in any foraging events, it is your own responsibility to identify to your own satisfaction anything you plan to eat. Some walks may involve an additional degree of physical challenge. If so, this will be clearly stated in the description. If you then choose to participate in these activities you do so at your risk.
There is a small fee of £2 for each walk to cover costs of the meetup page which is currently over £300 per year and also to cover some minor expenses incurred when reconnoitering walks, mostly fuel and a pint.
By attending any event organised through this Meetup group, you acknowledge that you participate entirely at your own risk.
Activities such as hiking, cycling, wild swimming, and foraging involve inherent risks, including injury, illness, changing weather conditions, difficult terrain, water hazards, wildlife, and other unforeseen circumstances.
Participants are responsible for:
- Assessing their own fitness, ability, and experience.
- Bringing appropriate clothing, equipment, food, water, and any required medication.
- Following the law, the countryside code, and any local regulations.
- Taking reasonable care for their own safety and the safety of others.
