Question 1

What if it rains?

Accepted Answer

Our view on the weather is that you can get as much benefit from expeditions in poor conditions as you can in perfect conditions. If we believe that the weather poses a significant risk to your safety, we will cancel the event and issue a refund to all participants.

Question 2

Speaking of which... is it safe?

Accepted Answer

Safety is at the core of what we do. Ant is a fully qualified and insured Mountain Leader and Hill and Moorland Leader, and is experienced in ‘old-skool’ navigation (and ‘new-skool’ navigation too), outdoor first aid and leading groups safely into the hills.

Question 3

Can I bring my dog?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You are welcome to bring your companion along. We do ask that your dog starts on a lead, is well-behaved and calm, and you are mindful of others in the group who may not be as curious/enthusiastic about your friend as they are about others!

Question 4

How do I get there?

Accepted Answer

Events will be arranged to start in locations where parking is available. We endeavour to make events reachable by public transport, but this isn't always possible. The event briefing will contain further information.

Question 5

Do I need specialist equipment?

Accepted Answer

I provide a recommended 'kit list', but generally I recommend bringing a sturdy pair of boots/shoes suitable for walking in, a light, waterproof jacket and enough layers for the weather we expect.

Question 6

How fit do I need to be?

Accepted Answer

Most walks will be accessible for most people. Mountain Boardroom has 5 walk grades - Light, Moderate, Challenging, Tough and Extreme. All Wellness Walks are ranked between light and moderate. 'Light' covers most flat routes, 'Moderate' has some short hill climbs.

Question 7

About that free drink...

Accepted Answer

Priorities, right? We'll head to a cafe/inn/pub at the end of the walk - for anyone who comes along, I'll get the first drink in.

Question 8

Aargh! I can't make it anymore!

Accepted Answer

If it's 7 days prior to the event, message me and I'll refund you. I absorb Eventbrite fees in the ticket price, so you may still need to pay these. Between 2 and 7 days, I will offer you a free place on another Wellness Walk. Less than 2 days - no worries, but no refund, sorry!
