Walkabout – Booking Terms & Conditions

These terms are designed to keep things clear and fair for everyone. By booking your place on a Walkabout retreat, you agree to the following:

A £100 deposit is required to secure your place.
Your deposit includes a 1-month cooling-off period, during which it is fully refundable if you decide not to attend.
After this period, the deposit becomes non-refundable.

Payment can be made in full at the time of booking, or spread through a monthly payment plan.
All balances must be cleared no later than 4 weeks before the retreat start date.
Concessionary rates: a limited number of places are available at reduced rates for those on low incomes. Please enquire at the time of booking.

If you need to cancel more than 8 weeks before your retreat, you will be refunded any payments made (excluding the deposit, once the cooling-off period has ended).
If you cancel within 8–4 weeks of the retreat, 50% of the balance (excluding deposit) will be refunded.
If you cancel within 4 weeks of the retreat, unfortunately no refunds can be given.
If you are able to find a replacement participant to take your place, we will transfer your booking to them where possible.

Walkabout requires a minimum of 6 participants to run. If this number isn’t reached, we may cancel the retreat and you will receive a full refund.
We reserve the right to make small changes to the itinerary (e.g. routes, facilitators, activities) if necessary due to weather, safety, or unforeseen circumstances.

Walkabout involves walking an average of 10 miles a day along the South West Coast Path, with varied terrain and weather. Please ensure you are comfortable with this level of activity.
Participants are responsible for bringing the required kit (e.g. tent, sleeping bag, mat, waterproof clothing). A full kit list will be provided.
By joining, you acknowledge that participation is at your own risk. While every effort is made to ensure safety, Walkabout cannot be held responsible for injuries or loss/damage to personal belongings.
We recommend that participants take out personal travel/health insurance to cover unexpected circumstances.

Walkabout is about adventure, connection, and respect for nature and each other. We ask all participants to:

Be kind, supportive, and respectful within the group.
Respect the natural environment, following “leave no trace” principles.
Let the facilitators know if you are struggling physically or emotionally, so we can support you.

We sometimes take photos during the retreat to share the spirit of Walkabout on our website and social media.
If you prefer not to appear in photos, just let us know at the start – your wishes will always be respected.
Testimonials may be used in Walkabout materials, with your permission.

✨ Adventure awaits!
