We run one or more group holidays most years. These are usually groups of between 8 to 15 people who take part in hiking holidays. Unless stated otherwise, these holidays do not employ official guides and as such are not ‘guided groups. We do make sure that there will be an experienced hiker in the group. Our company does not take any responsibility for any loss of belongings or accidents that may occur during these holidays.
We strongly recommend all participants have their own travel insurance to cover any unexpected eventualities. We reserve the right to change the itinerary details. This is usually to alter the location of a day hike. In the unlikely event that we change the number of nights advertised, a proportionate refund will be given.
Often food is included in our trips, and it is up to you to inform us of any dietary requirements. We will inform accommodation providers and try to accommodate them.
