Safety measures

Our online health questionnaire (PARQ) asks you to update your current health status. If you feel unwell between booking your WALX and joining us, we ask that you err on the side of caution and cancel your booking. You will be directed to book another date.

We provide poles on this beginner's workshop and we have strict cleaning procedures in place. Please talk to us before you buy poles. Once you have gained your FREEDOM Passport, you will be entitled to take part in over 2000 walks around the UK. WALX membership will also entitle you to discounts in the WALX Store and many other outlets.

We undertake to deliver all WALX with qualified staff and have made every effort to risk assess all routes.

On occasions, it is necessary to make dynamic risk assessment decisions when there is a localised incident such as fallen trees on the route, flooding, traffic changes, etc.

Please ensure you have completed the online health questionnaire (PARQ) and notify us in writing if you have any change to your medical records or physical or mental wellbeing. This should include any surgery, falls, knocks or accidents. Thank you.
