AT TEAMWALKING, WE WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE OUTDOORS IN A SAFE AND ENJOYABLE WAY.

Part of the attraction of valley, hill and mountain walking is the challenge of tackling different terrains, landscapes and weather conditions. Every effort is made to minimize potential hazards; however, the very nature of hill and mountain walking involves a certain level of unavoidable risk of accident and/or injury. By taking part in this activity, you are aware of and accept these risks.

All walks are tailored specifically for each group according to your needs, aspirations, experience and average fitness levels. However, a reasonable level of fitness is required as the natural environment can be demanding at times

All of our guides hold the Mountain Leader award as a minimum, and all guides are fully insured and first aid trained.

Almost all of our walks are suitable for all ages. Under 18s (minimum age 14) may attend if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. The child must be accompanied at all times during the walk by their parent/legal guardian. Our ‘pub themed’ walks are only suitable for over 18s.

TeamWalking provides the walking activities only. All participants must provide their own travel and accommodation.

We ask ALL participants to carefully read through the Consent Form, which contains our Terms and Conditions, as well as the relevant Webpage , Walk/Course Overview and Confirmation Email then complete the Consent Form in full and return it to us by email. By doing so, the participant confirms that they have read, understood and accepted the Terms and Conditions and are fully aware of the type of activity they have chosen to take part in.

When booking online via the TeamWalking online shop, you will be asked to read our Terms and Conditions before proceeding to Checkout. It is your responsibility to ensure you have read and understood our Terms and Conditions before making your booking.

The Terms and Conditions must be read in conjunction with the relevant Confirmation Email, Webpage, Walk or Course Overview (if applicable), which gives more details of the chosen activity; together the Consent Form, Confirmation Email, Webpage, Walk or Course Overview (if applicable) form the contract between us.

The contract shall be formed once payment has been received and we have sent you a confirmation email; once this has happened then you are bound by our Terms and Conditions.

Please note that any agreement between us will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales and, by booking a walk with us, you agree to this and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

TeamWalking Cancellation – the walk may be cancelled by the Walk Leader at any time prior to the walk due to illness of the Walk Leader, Government advice or law, adverse weather conditions or forecast or any other force majeure. The decision to cancel the walk lies solely with the Walk Leader.

• You are unwell with a respiratory illness that you may transmit to others (such as sore throat, cough, fever etc);
• You have had a positive Covid-19 test in the previous 10 days, and are still testing positive after Day 5.
• You have any Covid-19 symptoms (including generally feeling unwell, fatigue, sore throat, cough, fever, headache, loss of or change in your sense of taste or smell.

Dogs – you are welcome to bring a well behaved, good natured and socialised dog with you on some of our courses and walks (events). You MUST have permission in writing from us before the event in order to bring your dog with you, as not all of our events are suitable for dogs due to ground-nesting birds, livestock, access land, mountainous terrain, weather conditions, strenuous nature of the walk etc. Your dog MUST be insured, wormed and kept on a lead at all times, and is solely your responsibility and liability; TeamWalking accepts no responsibility whatsoever for the health, safety and wellbeing of your dog during the walk, nor for the behaviours or actions of your dog. TeamWalking reserves the right not to accept dogs on any of our walks, even at the last minute. Participants take priority over dogs. If a group member has dog allergies or phobias and requests a dog free walk, then no dogs will be allowed on that particular event. If you attend a multi-day walk and your dog is aggressive on the first day then you will not be permitted to attend on subsequent days with your dog. In both instances, you would need to find alternative arrangements for your dog. Our Transfer & Cancellation Policy only applies to participants, not their dogs. There are no transfers, cancellations or refunds available for participants if their dog is not able or permitted to attend a walk. A separate Dog Policy agreement will be emailed to you prior to the event. Mark Reid has a small cocker spaniel (Lola) who occasionally comes on his walks. Registered assistance dogs are always welcome.
