GUIDANCE FOR PEOPLE WISHING TO JOIN ONE OF OUR “SUMMER SIXERS” GUIDED WALKS:

1. Please read the description of the walks on offer carefully, in order to choose one that suits you.

2. If you have not done much walking during lockdown, consider choosing a walk that is well within your capacity.

3. Leaders will not be able to give you personal assistance which would involve close proximity or touch during the walk (except in an emergency), e.g. to cross stiles, or manage slippery slopes, so if you think you might need assistance please bring along a family member (i.e. book 2 places).

4. Please bring with you:
* any medication you might need, including plasters;
* hand santiser;
* water bottle and any snacks.

5. Please remember that, many paths will be stony or muddy (after all the rain we have been having) so please wear good footwear with non-slip soles.

6. To book, email info@baildonwalkersarewelcome.org giving the following information (maximum of 2 people from the same household per booking):
* Title and date of the walk you wish to book on.
* Your name/s, address, telephone number, email address.
* An emergency contact – name and telephone number – that we should contact in case you became ill during the walk.
* Any significant health information that you feel the leader should be aware of (we will treat this information in strict confidence and it will only be shared with the walk leader).

7. If, after having booked, you do not feel well in the days leading up to the walk, or on the day itself, please stay at home and do not join the walk. You can inform us that you are not going to participate by emailing the info@baildonwalkersarewelcome.org email .

8. If you arrive at the meet-up point appearing unwell, or without the footwear appropriate to the walk, the Walks Leader may need to ask you not to start the walk.

9. The walks will take place even if it is raining. We will only cancel if the weather is so bad as to be deemed a potential hazard – in which case we will telephone you as early as possible to let you know.
