Terms and Conditions
Bookings: Bookings do not hold firm until the fee has been received by Wandering Boots.

Age: All participants must be at least 18 years of age for any Wandering Boots activity. This excludes the 4 x 4 tours where participants can be under 18 provided they are accompanied by a responsible adult.

Alterations & Cancellations by Wandering Boots: Whilst every attempt will be made to ensure that the particular activity actually runs, Wandering Boots reserves the right to vary or cancel any activity due to unsuitable or dangerous conditions. In the most unlikely event of cancellation by the company an alternative course date will be offered or monies will be refunded in full. In the case of guided walks the leader reserves the right to change the route if for any reason the leader believes that a person or persons are unable to complete the planned walk or if weather conditions make it unsafe to continue the walk.

Cancellations by You: If you cancel the activity for whatever reason, the following refunds will apply: within six weeks of the activity commencement date a full refund will be given. Within two weeks of activity commencement date no refund will be given.

Fitness: For outdoor activities a general standard of fitness is required. If you have a medical condition you are strongly advised to seek your doctors advice prior to coming on the course or guided walk. Information given to the company is strictly confidential. The company cannot be held responsible for any illness or injury caused as a result of an ongoing medical condition or poor standard of health and fitness.

Behaviour: Should the instructor find that any participant is being disruptive or spoiling the enjoyment of others, then that person or group will be asked to leave.

Punctuality: You are asked to make suitable travel arrangements to arrive in time for any Wandering Boots activity. If you do not make it, for whatever reason and no attempt has been made to inform the company you will not be entitled to a refund.

Safety: All of our walks have been risk assessed and we carry a range of safety equipment for your protection, including a group survival shelter and a first aid kit. Our guides have current first aid certificates and are all skilled mountain walkers with many years of knowledge and experience of the Lake District.

Should any instructor find any course participant is jeopardising the safety of others, that person or group will be asked to leave and will not be entitled to a refund.

Insurance and Disclaimer: Hill and Mountain walking, like all outdoor activities, does involve some degree of personal risk. Wandering Boots will of course take all reasonable precautions to avoid accidents but we cannot take responsibility for injury to any person whilst taking part on a Wandering Boots activity. We would suggest that you arrange suitable insurance, against risks entailed on your walk.

We will not be liable for losses or damage to you luggage or personal effects caused by circumstances beyond our control.

We strongly recommend, for your own protection and peace of mind that you take out personal insurance to cover cancellation, accident, damage, loss, theft and injury with a reputable insurance provider.

Wandering Boots recognises that hill and mountain walking are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of this and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement. A declaration is to be completed before starting your activity.

Agreement: You must sign and agree to the booking terms and conditions and complete our health and safety questionnaire issued upon payment. Failure to do so will result in you not being admitted on the Wandering Boots activity.

Country Code: You are asked to respect the environment being used throughout the course. The company will not be responsible for any damage or destruction caused to the countryside or buildings due to the neglect or actions of any course participant. If any course participant is found to have caused damage or is behaving in a manner likely to cause damage or destruction to the countryside, that person or group will be asked to leave the course and may be liable for compensation to the owner of such land or property.
