Frequently asked Questions

As long as you are medically fit and you have signed the disclaimer, you can attend one of our taster walks, graded as easy.  This is a great opportunity for you to decide if this is for you!  Our treks are all about enjoyment and paying respects so don’t worry, it’s a nice steady pace.

Please see the Kit & Equipment Required page.

If the weather turns really bad before the trek and we cancel for this reason, we will issue a 100% refund.

If the weather turns whilst we are out on the trek, I will make any decisions on the ground.  I am happy operating in bad weather and will constantly assess the situation.

Weather updates are issued during the safety brief at the start of the trek. Please see the Mountain Weather Information Service website.

One thing I would like to stress is to not to rely on the local weather.  We will be trekking higher up in the hills and mountains so the usual weather forecasts will not always be accurate.

Some of our treks can be family orientated but some of the larger treks maybe be unsuitable for a young person. Persons under aged 16 years require to be under the supervision of a responsible adult.

We do permit dogs however they must be under control at all times especially around crash sites due to debris and sharp objects.

All military crash sites in the UK, its territorial waters, or British Aircraft in International waters, are controlled sites under the protection of Military Remains Act 1986.  It is an offence under this act to tamper with, damage, move or unearth any items at such sites, unless the Ministry of Defence (MOD) has issued a license authorising such activity.

Please remember that some of the sites are war graves and we must be mindful and respectful of this.

Participants of future treks will also want to see the crash sites so they must be left exactly how we found them.

If it is found that someone does take items from any of the sites, you will not be allowed to participate in any future treks and appropriate action will be taken.

No food or drink is supplied for the treks. May we request that you bring your own food and drinks with you.

Unfortunately, we are unable to recommend any accommodation however there are some great websites for accommodation in the peak district.

We do not provide transport to/from the trek starting points. We would suggest car sharing where at all possible as some of the locations have limited parking areas.

Only walking boots with ankle support are permitted on our treks to the wrecks adventures.  This is a strict policy for your own safety.  We reserve the right to refuse anyone who is not wearing the correct footwear, as indicated on our disclaimer.

Please inform us as soon as possible if you think you are going to arrive late. There is a confirmed meeting time for each trek; however, there is a 30 minute ‘leeway’ to allow for late arrivals.  Please do try to arrive at the time stated as the 30 minutes is used to conduct the relevant safety brief and to perform a head count before departing on our trek.  Timings do vary so please make sure that you check the arrival time for your chosen trek.

Yes you can take pictures but if you do not wish to be in any pictures please inform your mountain leader.  Please see the disclaimer for further information.

Your leader will be at the meeting point wearing a lime green hat.

All of the routes we take require substantial navigational and mountain experience.  Due to the unpredictable nature of these types of walks, inexperienced trekkers can quickly get into serious trouble and what started out as a nice day out can quickly take a turn for the worse. By booking with us, you can be assured of having an enjoyable and stress-free experience with the added comfort of knowing that you are in the safe hands of a leader.

It is a requirement for the treks that you are physically fit and able to walk at a reasonable speed.  Whilst we aim to be as inclusive as possible and can make adjustments for many disabilities, unfortunately we are unable to accommodate those in wheelchairs as the location of the crash sites and the types of terrain we cover to get to them makes it unsafe.

If you are unsure whether a particular trek would be suitable for you, please get in touch to discuss this further.

The starting points for each trek are depicted by a postcode.  Most of the areas are suggested general parking areas which are near to the starting point. To help you to get to the correct location, we have included a ‘google maps pin drop’ within the description of each trek.  We will inform you of any car parking charges in advance.  Please note that parking charges are not included in the cost of the trek.

If you have had or are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19 please do not attend the trek.  Please seek doctors advice if you are unsure.
