Bespoke Guided Walks
These walks are for individuals and small groups who want to tackle a walk, but do not feel confident walking on their own and want someone to guide them. Walks can vary in length to suit the requirements of the individual or group.

Dogs
Most of my walks are dog free. However, some of the short and medium length walks may allow dogs. The details for each walk will specify if dogs are allowed.
Equipment
Prior to each walk an equipment list will be sent to participants. It is your responsibility to ensure you have the appropriate equipment. If you arrive at a walk and are not appropriately equipped or have insufficient water / food for the walk you will not be allowed to join the walk.
Health Declaration
Prior to commencing each walk participants must complete a health declaration form and provide details of an emergency contact.
