Group Information.
All sporting and leisure activities have inherent hazards associated with them and rambling is no exception. In spite of the safety of members always being the paramount concern, accidents will occasionally occur. It is important, therefore, that when entering into the activity, each member appreciates that they have a responsibility to identify the hazards associated with the activity and take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimise the potential for an accident to arise.
The Walks Leader reserves the right to alter the planned walk in the event of adverse weather, and to refuse any individual who is not properly equipped and who may endanger the safety of the group. It is preferred that members accompany the group through to the conclusion of the walk, however anyone wishing to leave the walk for any reason MUST inform the Leader.
As a general rule, members should not walk ahead of the Leader. If the Leader drops back for any reason, members in front should keep the Leader in sight and within calling distance, unless otherwise permitted by the Leader.
Members are asked to make a small contribution towards petrol costs is applicable.
If any incidents or accidents occur please inform the Leader/Group Officer/or Senior Member immediately.
Please report any footpath problems with full details to the Footpath Officer, who will forward them to the appropriate authority.
