Booking Conditions – UK Courses and Events
- A non-returnable deposit is required at the time of booking being equal to at least 25% of the course/weekend price (with a minimum payment of £25). The balance is due 4 weeks before the commencement of the course/weekend.
- If you book a place by email, a place will be held for you for 10 working days until the deposit cheque is received. After this time, the place may be offered to someone else.
- If you cancel within 4 weeks of the start of a course, you will be liable for the full course fee, unless you find a suitable replacement paying the full amount due.
- Unless otherwise stated, candidates are expected to pay their own accommodation costs and/or catering costs.
- Sometimes Will4Adventure staff may offer a lift to candidates, in their own cars, either to and from the venue or during a course. These arrangements are nothing to do with Will4Adventure, and as such are offered on a goodwill basis. No right to travel is intended or implied. They are non-commercial arrangements, and any payments are made solely on a cost-sharing basis. No liability is implied or accepted by Will4Adventure for any loss or damage experienced by a candidate in such cases.
- The right to alter or cancel a course is reserved. If Will4Adventure cancels a course, prior to commencement and through no fault of the participant, refunds will be given in full. No liability for consequential loss is accepted.
- Upon receipt of registration for a course/weekend, details of start and finish times are supplied prior to attending, along with an outline programme and any kit requirements.
- Candidates are advised to insure themselves against cancellation or curtailment, personal injury and loss or damage to personal effects and equipment. Will4Adventure cannot be held responsible for the loss or damage to personal effects/equipment, howsoever caused.
- Will4Adventure Ltd is insured for public liability to the limit of £5 million.
Privacy Policy
Our Privacy Policy outlines our commitment to protecting your personal information. Please take the time to read it before booking with us.
We take your privacy seriously. We only use any personal information you provide to administer the services you have requested from us. This is the information from your booking form and, depending on the products you have purchased, it may include information provided on a medical declaration and any supporting documents.
Sometimes we need to provide some of this information to instructors but will only do this to maximise safety in relation to a course. Photos are often taken on courses. We will assume participants are happy for these to be used for promotional material or social media channels. We will always comply with clients if they choose not to have photos taken or used on media channels. Please just inform us if that is the case and we will follow your wishes.
We never pass on client details to third parties and will not contact you unless it is specifically about your course or expedition.
We keep a copy of your booking form (and any additional medical declaration information) for 6 years after your course. After this all data we hold in relation to your course will be securely destroyed.
We review our Privacy Policy on a regular basis and make changes as needed. We also respond to any guideline changes to ensure our policy is robust and current.
If you have any questions about any aspect of our Privacy Policy please don’t hesitate to contact us. We are always happy to answer questions or provide further information.
Booking Information
- It is essential that you fill out a Will4Adventure medical history questionnaire (supplied after booking) prior to attending and provide any updates in this regard that may occur between making the booking and attending the event. Will4Adventure cannot accept any liability for any loss or injury caused by medical conditions that were not disclosed. Disclosure of a medical problem will not necessarily preclude you from attending.
Tuition and Safety
- All course instructors and event leaders will be qualified to the standard required by the associated awarding organisation or by the associated National Governing Body.
- All course instructors and event leaders hold a current first aid certificate.
- The syllabus for each course is as stated on this website. However, the exact programme may vary depending on the weather, experience of the candidates, location etc.
- Safety is of paramount importance. Therefore, candidates are expected to agree to act on any requests that staff consider necessary. Will4Adventure, and any of its staff, reserves the right to terminate a course immediately for any person who refuses to act on the advice of course tutors.
Risk and Dangers – Participation Statement
Whilst we maintain high professional standards of client care and safety, you must realise and understand that climbing, mountaineering and other mountain related activities all take place in hazardous terrain. The risks involved can be minimised but never entirely eliminated.
We therefore draw your attention to the British Mountaineering Council’s (BMC) Participation Statement:
The BMC recognises that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.
When booking on any of our courses you must understand and accept the BMC participation statement.

COVID-19 (correct from 5th October 2022)
If you are showing symptoms of Covid and you are unable to proceed with your booking following a positive lateral flow test or PCR test, we would ask you not to join us. Instead you can reschedule to another course date of your choice from any of those advertised on our website.
Please note we will ask for evidence of the positive test.
These Covid related conditions will be reviewed regularly and will be subject to change or removal without prior notice.
