Family FAQs
Do children need previous experience?
No. The day is planned around the group. Honest information about ages, footwear, confidence and any needs helps choose the right plan.
Can the plan change if the weather is poor?
Yes. The aim is to choose a safe and enjoyable day. If the original plan is unsuitable, I’ll suggest a lower-level or more sheltered alternative.
Is this suitable for nervous beginners?
Yes. The tone is supportive, patient and beginner-friendly, with no pressure to do anything unsuitable.
