Useful Information
To book please contact us either by phone or e-mail, below is some useful information.
Equipment
Towards Adventure provide all safety and group equipment. The use of personal helmets, harness and mountains bikes is encouraged, if they are deemed suitable by the instructor of the session.
Having the right personal equipment will enhance your enjoyment of the day. In particular the choice of clothing is important to your safety, as a guide we recommend on all activities:
- Wicking Base Layers
- Fleece jumper or jacket
- Light weight nylon/polyester trousers
- Waterproof jacket and trousers
- Socks- wool/padded
- Spare warm layer
- Selection of hats and gloves
For all mountain bike courses long sleeve tops and long trousers are required for safety. The use of appropriate pads is a suitable alternative.
Footwear:
- For climbing and mountain biking trainers with good grip are ideal. Climbing shoes will help develop a more precise technique. The use of clip in shoes for MTB is not encouraged on Towards Adventure courses.
- For hill walking a pair of good fitting walking boots with good grip and ankle support are reccomended.
A small rucksack is useful to carry lunch and warm drink on all activities.
For more advanced courses a detailed equipment list will be provided.
Weather/location
Towards Adventure reserves the right to change times and locations of activities for reasons of safety, before the activity commences (or during if necessary). Whilst we try to work with the conditions that nature throws at us, in some situations the worst of the weather may be avoided by small route or location changes. We want you to get the best out of your time with us so if necessary exact locations for your chosen activity may change at short notice. We will inform you of any change of location as soon as possible. Of course some times the rain is simply unavoidable!
Payment / cancellation policy
Towards Adventure have a clear payment policy. 50% of the total cost must be paid to confirm your booking. The remaining cost must be paid on the first day before the activity commences. In the case of a cancellation if notice given 28 days before the first day of activity, clients will receive all of their deposit back, excluding administration costs.
