Things to Do in Malham

Team Walking BOOKING TERMS & CONDITIONS IMPORTANT: please read carefully

· 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 will involve a varying degree of rough terrain, muddy/rocky/wet ground, remote open country, high ground, moorland,
stiles, stream crossings, roads and lanes, farms and livestock as well as a number of ascents/descents, some of which may be
steep. We may also encounter adverse weather conditions whilst on the walk.
· Walking and outdoor activities can be strenuous. Never underestimate the strenuous nature of walking particularly when this is
combined with high ground and the elements.
· No previous hill-walking experience is required and walks are ‘pitched’ according to the experience and average fitness levels of
the group. However, a reasonable level of fitness is required as the natural environment can be demanding at times.
· All participants must provide suitable outdoor footwear, preferably walking boots, with sturdy cleated soles and ankle support.
· Mark Reid or his freelance Mountain Leaders (Walk Leaders) accept no responsibility for personal accidents or injury or for loss
or damage to personal effects unless caused by their negligence as Walk Leaders. We strongly recommend you have adequate
personal insurance cover for accident or injury, as well as travel insurance in case of cancellation.
· All participants must take heed of any information, guidance or hazard warnings given by the Walk Leader during the pre-walk
briefing or whilst on the walk.
· The Walk Leader reserves the right to refuse to take a participant whom they consider will be unable to complete the planned
activity or is wearing unsuitable clothing.
· Accommodation, Food & Travel - You must book and pay for any accommodation, food and/or travel (the 'service provided')
directly yourself. The contract for the service provided is between the person making the booking and the service provider.
· Payments - full payment is required prior to the outdoor course or activity (the ‘event’) to secure your booking.
· Transfer of Booking – You may transfer your booking to another advertised date (subject to availability) subject to the payment
of the following transfer fees:

These transfer fees are payable at the time of transfer (plus any price difference). All transfers must be made prior to the event.
· Cancellations: You may cancel your booking any time within 7 days from the date you paid for your booking ('date of booking'),
and we will refund the cost of your booking in full. All cancellations must be confirmed in writing by email, text or post.
Cancellations after 7 days from the date of booking will be subject to the following cancellation charges (which will be deducted

Ø 1 – 7 days before the event or non attendance – cancellation charge of 100% of the cost of the event.
· The event may be cancelled by the Walk Leader within 48 hours of the event due to adverse weather conditions or forecast. If
the event is cancelled by the Walk Leader then the event will either be rescheduled for another date, your booking transferred to
another advertised date or a credit note issued to be redeemed within 12 months against any TeamWalking event. The decision
to cancel the event lies solely with the Walk Leader. In the event of cancellation by the Walk Leader, then TeamWalking’s liability
is limited to the cost of your chosen activity only. We recommend you have adequate travel insurance in case of cancellation.
· The pre-planned route may be subject to change whilst on the walk due to adverse weather conditions, pace of the group,
fitness and ability levels, accidents or injuries etc. In extreme circumstances the walk may be terminated. Once the walk has
commenced then any such changes to the pre-planned walk are deemed to be part of the event. The decision to change or
terminate the walk lies solely with the Walk Leader.
· All participants must be aged 18 years or over.
Some of our more adventurous activities (such as the Yorkshire Three Peaks and Mountain Walks) have additional Terms and
Conditions to reflect the nature of the activity. Please see the relevant Booking Forms for full details. By returning the Booking
Form you confirm that you have read through, understood and accepted these Terms & Conditions, and that you are fully aware
of the type of activity you have chosen to take part in.
