The hikes and courses are designed to be as enjoyable as possible, so we keep a slow and steady pace. It's about enjoying the process at a pace that is comfortable for all and taking in our surroundings, not racing to the finish.
It is important that you are responsible for your own health and safety when you're taking part in any outdoor activity.
If you are unsure as to whether you are fit to come on these hikes or courses, please either consult your doctor or let me know your concerns.
