BUSHCRAFT.


Bushcraft is the art of 'thrival' in the wild. Through learning a range of skills including shelter building, fire making , water and food sourcing and preparation we can provide you with what you need for survival in relative comfort while you find tranquility from being out in nature.

We offer bushcraft days: skills courses, corporate team-building, one to ones, bushcraft for schools.

We also run foraging and woodland/ natural craft skills courses.

FORAGING.


We offer seasonal courses to get people enjoying wild food and drink. These events include a walk to find a range of edibles followed by a meal giving the opportunity to taste foods made with wild ingredients.

Bushcraft and Woodland Crafts Parties for up to 12 children. Activities include making camps with dens, fire lighting and outdoor cooking. The theme can be tailored to the group. Some may prefer arts and crafts based themes while others will want a survival theme. Parties run for either two or four hours. Talk to us – we can plan a party with a difference.

Responsibility of the Client/Agent.

Client/s agree they are physically able to participate in activities and have given full details of any health needs, including allergies, to ensure an appropriate and safe event.
Client/s are aware of the potential risk of outdoor and wild food activities and acknowledge that every care is taken to avoid potential risks and injuries.
Clients take full responsibility for their own well-being on walks and courses and assume all risks, including acts of God, of injury, death, and/or loss to his/her person and/or property knowingly and voluntarily.

Personal belongings are the sole responsibility of clients. No liability is accepted for any personal belonging unless it is due to the provider’s negligence.

Client/s are expected to listen to advice/health and safety talks given and seek medical advice before participation where appropriate. Please note that the provider cannot give medical advice.

Client/s must always listen to and adhere to reasonable instructions by the provider.

All children and animals are the sole responsibility of and should be under the control of the parent/carer/owner.

Client/s must arrive prepared, including appropriate clothing and footwear for the weather conditions. The event will go ahead in all weather, unless dangerous.



Cancellations/ Alterations by the provider.

Whilst every reasonable effort is made to deal with such contingencies there may be occasions when the provider, through no fault of their own, is forced to, postpone, alter the date or time, cancel an event, bring an event to an early close, or to make ‘significant’ or ‘minor’ changes. These circumstances include; minimum numbers not reached (the nature of a course requires a minimum number of participants for it to be viable), natural variables, weather (which may include; gale force winds, torrential and persistent rain, sub-zero temperatures, other dangerous weather), illness, transport cancellations, natural disasters, acts of God, epidemic or terrorist activity, other unforeseeable situations.

All efforts will be made to inform the clients of these changes as soon as is practicably possible, this may be very short notice during or before the walk/course event.

In circumstances where an event is cancelled or the date is changed, the client will be offered the option to:

participate in an alternative date on a similar walk/ course/ event to the same value;

participate in a different walk/ course/event and if the value is more, to pay (your responsibility) the difference in price or if the price is lower, be reimbursed the difference in price (providers responsibility)

If for some reason this is not possible, you will be offered a full refund.



Cancellation/Alterations by the Client.


In circumstances where commitments cannot be adhered to the following costs will be incurred. The client acknowledges that such fees are acceptable due to the provider needing to plan for and administrate all courses.
Cancellations of less than 4 weeks before the walk/event will incur a charge of the full amount.

Alterations to the date of your booking will incur a 10% administration fee and will need to be re-scheduled within 12 months of the original booking. If less than 1 week before the event your place/s will be forfeited.

Cancellations by the client due to weather are not acceptable, unless it is agreed with the provider that the weather is too dangerous for the event/ course/ walk to go ahead and therefore the event being cancelled, postponed or altered.
 


The Providers Responsibility.


The Provider is not held by contract to provide a walk/ course/ event until the full cost is received.

All descriptions of walks/ courses/ events are intended as a guide-line only.

The Provider reserves the right to adapt and modify services as needed. Prices are as advertised or as agreed in writing.

The Provider will provide general information about the benefits of wild foods, though will not be held responsible for specific health information which is the area of a Medical Herbalist, GP or Health Professional.

The Provider reserves the right to remove any participant from a walk/ course/ event if their behaviour is deemed inappropriate or abusive.

All walks/courses/ events have been subject to a risk assessment. Where the situation on site has altered since being risk assessed, the walk/ venue may be actively risk assessed . Alternatively, if the venue has been chosen by or is owned by the client, the client may be asked to risk assess the site and to provide Wayfarers Outdoors with this risk assessment.

Where walks/ courses/ events involve cooking, Wayfarers Outdoors staff are only present as a guide and physical safety is the responsibility of the client.



Lateness/Delays.


If you know you are going to be late please make every effort to let the provider know (by mobile, NOT email) - 07817 713426.

The provider will wait for up to 10 minutes for late comers, subject to the agreement/needs of the clients present.

If the provider is late, all endeavours will be made to let you or someone in the group know, and please note Wayfarers Outdoors' mobile number for this reason.

If the provider’s transport is cancelled or severely delayed the walk/ course/ event may need to be postponed or cancelled. If this is the case, you will be reimbursed the amount paid for the walk/ course/ event and offered an alternative date.


Communication.


The provider is committed to communicating clearly with clients within standard working hours, though may not be available at all hours suitable for the client/s, as working hours vary according to courses.

Please note that the provider is best contacted by text, especially at short notice on 07817 713426, NOT by email.

All communication will be responded to as soon as possible, however some venues have poor phone reception where communication is not always possible. Emails will be responded to as soon as possible, which may be several days after they are sent.

Clients are expected to provide a mobile number in case the provider needs to be in contact on the day of the event.


Complaints/Grievances.


In the unlikely event that a client has cause for complaint about an event, the complaint should be made to the provider during the event in order that corrective action can, if necessary and possible, be taken. The client acknowledges that it is unreasonable to take no action during a walk but to complain later. However, should a problem not be resolved, complaint should be made in writing within 28 days of the relevant course, event or walk. To the extent permitted in law the provider will not be liable in respect of claims first initiated later than 28 days from the close of the relevant walk.
 

Liability.

Walks and woodland courses and events are by their very nature not free from hazard. The provider makes every effort to minimise risk to clients and instructs clients in the safe negotiation of such risks as may remain. Consequently, the client acknowledges that there are circumstances in which an accident could befall a client without the provider being at fault and accepts that he/she is taking part in a course, event or walk at their own risk.

a) The provider only accepts liability for physical injury to a client that is proven to result from negligence on the part of the provider.

b) The client acknowledges that other loss, damage, injury and expense (including, without limitation to; loss of money, loss or damage to clothes and possessions, losses arising from the cancellation of a walk or events) is not the responsibility of the provider and that the provider’s liability is limited accordingly.


Insurance.


Public Liability Insurance is held by the provider to the amount of £10 million, any claims should therefore be limited to this amount. A copy of the P.L document can be seen on request.

The client is strongly advised to take out personal insurance of the type available to holiday makers, to cover the risks ordinarily covered by such policies, including personal injury, loss of belongings and money and cancellation.


Photography.


Please remember that people in your photos may not want their image on social media. If you would rather your image does not appear in Wayfarers Outdoors social media or other publicity please let us know.


Disclaimer: Foraging


Foraging walks offer an introductory insight into wild foods available to you; how to identify them, distinguishing features, parts to use, preparation tips, recipe suggestions and common mistakes that could be made. No responsibility can be taken for participants future foraging, carried out after and away from the provider’s supervision. It is highly advisable that all future foraging should be done under the supervision of a suitable professional, or else at the personal risk of those choosing to carry out such activities.
