Registration
We do ask that walkers wishing to take part in walks register for walks beforehand, but can usually be accommodated up to one hour beforehand by letting the organisers know by phone, text or email. We also ask that you arrive promptly so that walks begin on time. Walk schedules will say where the walk begins and ends but please get in touch if you would like further information. If you have a health condition that you think is relevant, please make the leaders aware of this prior to your walk.

Terms of Participation and Disclaimer.
We are committed to running the Walking Festival safely and appreciate your cooperation with this. However, participants take part in walks at their own risk and we cannot accept responsibility for any accident or injury. If you have a health condition that you believe may be relevant, please make the leaders aware of this prior to your walk.
The Walk Leader endeavours to ensure that the walk is enjoyable for participants and protects the environment. Should the Walk Leader have any concerns about any participant during the walk they may decide to ask the participant to leave the walk as long as it is reasonable to do so. The decision of the Walk Leader is final. This is especially important for safety on roads.
Dogs are allowed on festival walks (unless stated otherwise in the description) but must be under adequate control. Dogs cannot be taken into fields where cattle are grazed but often in spring, fields are free from cattle. The Walk Leader will advise on best action if sheep are in the vicinity. Persons under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult. Participants are requested not to smoke on walks.
What to wear and bring
To enjoy the Festival in safety and in comfort, it is essential that you come equipped with suitable footwear, clothing and equipment (such as walking pole). Weather conditions can always change quickly, so we advise that you come prepared for sunshine and rain.
Other than for short walks, bring water and refreshments to suit your needs. Always have sweets, chocolate bar, fruit or other top up to suit your health and ability.
