This Disclaimer will be signed by every person participating in any activity organised by any member of the Leeds YHA Walking Group.

I hereby acknowledge and accept that some of the activities offered by Leeds YHA Walking Group (subsequently called ‘the Group’) can be hazardous in nature and during any activities organised by the Group (including but not limited to walking/hiking, cycling, camping, and overnight stays in various types of accommodation) there is always an element of risk. I understand that walking/hiking and cycling should not be attempted without the proper equipment, especially suitable footwear, rain protection and clothing suitable for the time of year and if this a cycling event that my cycle has been properly maintained. I acknowledge sufficient food and water should also be carried and if possible some lights for dull or evening activities. I further understand and accept that many of the activities offered by the Group, including but not limited to hill walking/hiking and cycling are physical activities and should not be attempted by people who are not of a suitable fitness. I am not aware of any physical illness/injury/condition that may impact on my ability to safely participate in activities of this type (if you are unsure you must first seek medical advice). I understand that I participate in any activities organised by the Group entirely at my own risk.

If I wish to indemnify myself, then I will choose to obtain my own insurance cover.

Any dog brought on a walk must be kept under close control at all times and on a lead when on farmland, near any live stock or near traffic. The walk leader has the right to insist that a dog is put on a lead if it is considered not to be under close control at any time.

I (for each undersigned person) will not hold the Group or its Committee, Walk, Cycling or Weekend leaders responsible for any injury, loss or damage to me or to my property during any such activity.
