We will offer guidance for these if required and you should also consult with your GP for vaccinations, allowing enough time beforehand.
- We do not have any restrictions for people partaking in our trips with regard to disabilities, mobility problems or medical issues. However, before making a booking, it is important that if any particular requirements are needed, we are made aware so that we can discuss suitability and any reasonable adjustments. We may also ask you to be accompanied by someone who is able to provide you with care for any particular needs you may have.
- If you have special requirements a risk assessment might be required prior to confirming a booking or allowing participation in certain activities. Please note that we rely upon the information you provide to help us anticipate and satisfy your needs. We therefore require you to give us a full and frank description of your needs. You must update us with any change in your circumstances prior to and during your stay. Our guides can only provide general first aid.

Our support vehicles and guides carry basic first aid and if anything over and above this is required please discuss this with us before making your booking. In some cases we may also need to carry out an individual risk assessment for particular conditions or issues.

- refuse to accept your booking;
