What you Need to Know

Frodsham Festival of Walks thanks you for your interest in our programme. Before you join us there are a few things that we need to tell you, to ensure that you are safe, well-equipped, and have all the information you will need, before you register for one of our walks.

Frodsham Festival of Walks does not accept any responsibility for personal injury or loss of property when attending any of our walks. Individuals must take out their own insurance if they consider it necessary.
The time given in the brochure is the start time. Walks will start punctually so please arrive at the meeting point in good time to enable the register to be checked or completed and a safety briefing given. All sections of the registration sheet must be completed.
Booking via: - https://frodshamfestivalofwalks.uk/

All walks are circular unless otherwise stated.

Distance and duration of walks are approximate and allow for break / lunch stops.

References are given for each meeting point but please be aware that the postcode is only approximate and some places do not have a postcode. If suggested parking is not at the meeting point allow time to arrive punctually.

If travelling by car do consider car sharing.
Car owners please show consideration for local residents and businesses when parking.

In the event of adverse weather or unpredicted obstacle, the leader may change the route or distance of the walk in the interests of health and safety.

Please wear suitable clothing and footwear and be prepared for unpredictable weather. On sunny days please consider using a wide brimmed hat and sun protection. An inadequately dressed person could affect the safety and enjoyment of the whole group. We reserve the right not to take a person who is not appropriately equipped or who is thought by the leader unlikely to be able to cope with the pace or length of the walk.

Please ensure you have sufficient food and drink for the duration of the walk.
Remember to bring any medication you may need during the walk.

Dogs are welcome on some walks but must be kept under the close control of the owner. The leader has the right to decide whether dogs must be tethered or otherwise. Where dogs are not allowed it is clearly shown in the walk information. Owners must carry ‘poop’ bags to use when required, and only dispose in a designated bin.

Walkers under 16 years of age are welcome but must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

We ask that walkers refrain from smoking during the walk.

You must notify the leader if you wish to leave the walk. Once you have left, the leader will no longer be responsible for you.

If the walk/event is cancelled (e.g. leader’s illness, adverse weather) FFOW will endeavour to contact you. However please look at our website – https://frodshamfestivalofwalks.uk/ for information updates. Also check Frodsham Festival of Walks Facebook page. In the event of a walk being cancelled, the leader or other organisers will make every effort to be at the meeting point to advise anyone who does turn up.
