Our Values...
Our members
Inclusion
Diversity
Equality
...and a duty of care to all of our members.
Main objectives are to socialise and make new friends.
We are a subscription based group, so a small charge of £8.00 per year, this will help with meet up fees, admin fees and eventually insurance once we're up and running. Any other monies that remain will then go towards booking accommodation for
future events, this needs to be paid after a 6 week taster." Try before you buy"
The Disclaimer!
We are a group of like-minded adults who share the same interest, the great outdoors.
Our leaders/event hosts are volunteers, they're there to guide groups on walks in the countryside, they're not responsible for each and every participant other than themselves.
It is expected that all participants to be fully responsible for themselves and their own safety, we do not employ first aiders or qualified walk leaders. Participants are also expected to attend every walk with suitable clothing, footwear and any other equipment, that includes waterproofs for wet weather and walking poles if you need them regularly. Enough food and drink for the day is also required.
Some activities in more mountainous regions such as the Lake District, Wales and Scotland, can be more challenging, our walk leaders will use the principal of the groups safety at all times and if the conditions dramatically change for the worse, they will reserve the right to end the walk and turn back.
If for any reason you are concerned about the potential risks of our activities whilst out with the group you could consider taking out a personal insurance plan, e.g. The BMC (British Mountaineering Council)
They offer a yearly plan/cover that will not only cover you in the UK but also in any European country.
When you RSVP you are agreeing to the terms and conditions of this disclaimer.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me directly.
Please remember, we're here to have fun and socialise!
