COVID-19 and Guidance for Walkers
Reducing the risks of Covid-19 for you, your fellow walkers and those they come in contact with is everyone’s responsibility. Here are some important points for everyone on walks:
- You MUST book on a walk beforehand: You’ll be turned away if you haven’t. This is because the maximum legal group size is currently 30 (or less at the walk leader's discretion).
- Book using Eventbrite via the link in the walk description. Bookings via text or email will not be accepted. If showing SOLD OUT, please check back in case places become available.
- If you start experiencing Covid-19 symptoms or you are told to self-isolate by NHS Test and Trace or the NHS COVID-19 app, you must NOT attend any group walk. This is crucial, even if it means cancelling shortly before the walk starts.
- If you are unable to attend you MUST cancel your booking immediately via the 'View and manage your order online' link in your Eventbrite confirmation email to give others a chance to book on in your place.
- If you test positive for Coronavirus within 48 hours of attending a walk, you MUST tell us straight away so that we can contact the other people who were there. This is because they are deemed to have had close contact with you and should self-isolate for 14 days.
- Please respect others by keeping a distance of 2 metres and standing back to give way.
- Good hand hygiene: avoid touching gates, stiles, benches, etc. and bring hand sanitiser for when this is unavoidable. Do not share food, water or walking equipment.
- Please follow your walk leader's advice: They have a responsibility to ensure that walks are safe for everyone. They may even gently remind you about social distancing and good hygiene.
For more information please read the Ramblers' guidance for volunteers.
