8. Course content and weather.
The programme we publish in the literature and on our website and describing the courses are designed to be illustrative in order to best explain the scope and type of activities you will be undertaking. It is very unlikely that any one programme could be or would be followed precisely as it is published. Several factors outside of our control will determine this and dictate what can be accomplished reasonably during you course. The most influential factors will be weather conditions and physical fitness of course participants. Taking these factors into consideration and the aims of the course as described in our literature the Course Director will construct the best programme possible. The Course leader will review and may alter the programme as the course progresses in response to the changing influence of these factors.
Once the course is underway the Course leader, guides or instructors may change the activities at any time. This applies to all courses.
Circumstances may arise where we are forced to alter dates duration or accommodation before a course starts. We will try to inform you of any such changes as soon as we know of them. Our Course guides, instructors and leaders will do their utmost to ensure that any problems are solved for the benefit of the course participants as a whole, Signing the booking form signifies your acceptance of the Course Director’s authority to make decisions effecting the group of individuals. For instance the Course leader may require an individual or individuals to leave the course if they believe that a person or person’s health is at risk, if a person is not coping or may not cope with the technical, physical or mental demands of the course, if an illegal act has been or may be committed or conduct is, or may become detrimental to the safety, enjoyment or well- being of the group or of any individual with the group.
