Our events are organised by volunteers.
WE DO NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOU

General info
Membership
The membership cost is £3 per calendar year, payable on joining the group (regardless of what month you join us). Membership contributions go towards the maintenance of our website. If there are any funds left at the end of the year, these will be either donated to the Mountain Rescue or used for the benefit of the group.
Walk grading
We organise different types of events, but we love walking. Our walks are graded based on the distance, total ascent and the type of terrain that the walk covers. Please check the grading before joining an event, and read the event description .
Easy - these are shorter walks (below 8 miles in length), with less than 2,000 feet ascent, on well defined paths and tracks without obstacles.
​
Easy/moderate - easy walks of 8-10 miles, with less than 2,000 feet ascent but with some narrower paths and some obstacles to tackle (some uneven terrain, wet underfoot etc).
​
Moderate - most of our walks fall into this category; moderate walks are 10-12 miles in length with 2,000-3,000 feet ascent and usually follow paths rather than tracks, so rough ground and obstacles are more frequent.
​
Moderate/hard - 12-15 miles in length with considerable ascent, or a moderate walk with a technical aspect (an easy scramble for example, or knowledge of basic winter skills).
​
Hard - walks over 15 miles in length, or shorter walks but with technical aspects (graded scrambles, advanced winter skills).
​
Please check the walk description before joining, the organisers will make sure to list all the hazards and give you a good idea of what the walk entails. Please do not hesitate to contact the organiser if you have any questions, we're here to help!
Event cancellation
Our walks and events are weather dependent. We will do our best to find an alternative, but sometimes when it is blowing a hooly and the biblical rain lashes down the windows and turns roads into rivers, it is best to just snuggle down in your armchair with a cup of cocoa.
​
We do not issue refunds - if you need to cancel your place on a paid event (a weekend away or a trip abroad) your place will be filled by the next person on the waitlist and they will refund you directly. Please bear in mind that we may not be able to refund you if there is no waitlist.
