Activities in the outdoors bring their own potential hazards & risks that can lead to harm/damage, both material & personal, to 3rd parties & yourself.
Damage can result from falls, slips, trips, exposure to very low & high temperatures, insect bites, attacks from animals etc. Outdoor sessions can involve uneven paths, declines & inclines & other physical hazards of this type. Events do go off the main paths & there may be water & mud present.
Session are held in areas that are open to the general public who may be present or walking in the same areas as the event. Dogs both on & off the lead can also be present.
Although Journeys in Nature & Wuji Wellbeing endeavour to minimise these risks, they cannot be eliminated entirely & they cannot totally control all the factors involved.
