A quick note on responsibility

These walks are organised and led to be shared, enjoyable experiences, but everyone who joins is responsible for making sure they’re comfortable and capable of taking part. Please make sure you’re fit enough for the walk and bring suitable clothing, footwear, food, water, and anything else you might need for a day out at the coast.

Conditions in coastal areas can change quickly, and by joining the walk you’re agreeing to take part at your own risk and to look after your own health and wellbeing throughout. The organiser isn’t able to accept responsibility for individual welfare, injury, loss, or damage during the walk.
