Kendal Fellwalkers Summer 2020
Guidelines for A** walks -
These walks include some activity which is outside the remit of normal walking (Grade 2 scrambles/icy ridges/snow gullies etc.). When joining one of these walks each person participates at his/her own risk, is totally responsible for his/her own actions and takes part only on the understanding that no liability whatsoever shall be construed against any other participant or organiser for actions (or lack of actions) undertaken in good faith. These walks are only open to experienced members.
Restarting the Kendal
Fellwalkers Summer Programme
It is important that:
1. Members must email the leader before coming on a walk so that the group
size can be controlled.
◦ Leaders will expect to hear from you between Monday and
Saturday of the week preceding the walk and places will be allocated on a
first come first served basis.
◦ The leader will email you to confirm that you have a place. Please do not
just turn up at the starting point without having received this
confirmation. It is important that leaders aren’t put in the position of
having to turn members away (and tagging along at the back is definitely not
allowed!)
◦ Please note that ‘six’ means six individuals; two members of the same
household do not count as one!
◦ Members must inform the leader if they subsequently decide not to join the
walk as there may be a waiting list.
2. Members must not car-share (unless from the same household) so should not
gather at the Cumbria Wildlife Trust but should go directly to the
starting-point.
3. Members must take care to maintain a distance of at least two metres from
other members. Don’t forget that some members may be more risk averse than
you.
4. In the current circumstances it is particularly important that we don’t
have to call on the services of Mountain Rescue. Leaders may need to adjust
the route (or even cancel) in poor weather conditions as otherwise physical
distancing may become difficult. Mountain Rescue have also requested that
walkers be careful to walk within their capabilities.
5. Covid-19 risks cannot be completely eliminated and some members may be
more at risk than others, so you may wish to delay your return to
participating in the programme.
