- Whilst leaders take every care, your comfort and safety are your own responsibility. Everyone taking part in Otley Walking Festival does so at their own risk.
- Clothing and footwear appropriate for the conditions are essential.
- Bring a packed lunch on walks starting in the morning and lasting more than 3 hours.
- Make sure that you bring plenty of food and water to drink (at least 2 litres on the longer walks).
- Always carry a hat and sunscreen with you even if it does not feel warm.
- The pace of the walk is appropriate to the distance and the available time. We ask that walkers accept the pace set. Short walks tend to be at a fairly slow pace, the longer walks will be much faster. Anyone getting ahead of the leader may be deemed to have left the walk.
- Under 18s must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
- We would prefer that you did not bring your dog. If you do, you will be expected to keep your dog under close control at all times.
- Dogs and dog-related incidents are not covered by the Festival’s insurance so please make sure you are fully insured if accompanied by your dog.
- Timings given for walks do not include time taken to travel to and from the walk, unless stated.
WE HOPE EVERYONE ENJOYS OTLEY WALKING FESTIVAL 2025
