Payments for Walks.

Booking fee to be paid at the time of booking. If the walk is at capacity you may not be able to join the group. Confirmation of all walk bookings will only be given by email.

Payments for Events.

These are all individually priced, please check the programme carefully and enclose the correct amount when booking offline.

Cancellation.

We can accept cancellations and changes up to a week before the start of the Festival. Walkers may either opt for a different walk, subject to availability, or ask for a refund. After that period to the start of the Festival, and once it has started, we are unable to give a refund to a walker who cancels a walk.

If a walk is completely cancelled by the Festival Organisers or the Walk Leader, before it has started, then walkers will be entitled to a full refund or transfer to a different walk, subject to availability. Walkers who do not show up for a walk on which they are booked will not be entitled to a refund.

Clothing.

You will be expected to ensure that you are properly equipped for the grade and length of walk. For all walks, waterproof jacket and trousers, walking boots, warm clothes, spare warm layer, hat, and a rucksack are recommended. Bring your own food and drink. Ensure that you have an adequate supply of water (and a hot drink if you wish) and sufficient food for the length of walk – there are no cafes on the hills!

Registration.

Check the times of the walk you are booked on and ensure you are at the Church Barn at least 15 minutes before the stated time.

Walk Details.

Meal breaks will be taken at a suitable point in the walk at the discretion of the Walk Leader. Follow the instructions of the Walk Leader. Walk Leaders may refuse to take people who are not properly equipped or prepared. Walk Leaders will decide on whether a walk can proceed or be curtailed in the event of adverse weather. Note many of the walks may have stiles. Start times given are for the start of the walk or the time the bus leaves, whichever is appropriate. It is not possible to wait for late arrivals.

No liability will be accepted for loss or injury that occurs as a result of taking part in any Walk or Event. Please ensure you are ready to start walking at the stated time.
