If Learn Bushcraft cancels an activity

  • An alternative available date, or

  • A refund of the amount paid to Learn Bushcraft for the cancelled activity.

We will contact you using the details provided when booking.

We are not responsible for unrelated costs such as travel, accommodation or equipment purchased for your visit, except where the law requires otherwise.

Weather and woodland conditions

Bushcraft and wild camping are outdoor activities and will normally continue in typical British weather, including rain and cold conditions.

Please arrive with suitable clothing, footwear and equipment for the expected conditions.

Activities may be changed, postponed or cancelled if conditions make the woodland unsafe. This could include high winds, storms, extreme heat, fire risk or other hazards.

Safety will always take priority.

  • Woodland walking

  • Natural materials

  • Camping

  • Other practical outdoor activities

Safety briefings and instructions given by Learn Bushcraft instructors must be followed at all times.

Learn Bushcraft may stop someone taking part in an activity if an instructor reasonably believes their behaviour creates a risk to themselves, another participant, staff, wildlife or the woodland.

The responsible adult or organisation is responsible for providing any necessary information and permissions relating to the young people in their care.

Alcohol and drugs

Anyone who appears to be significantly affected by alcohol or recreational drugs may be prevented from participating in activities involving fire, knives, axes, tools or other potentially hazardous activities.

  • Follow woodland and fire safety instructions

  • Use fires only where permitted

  • Respect wildlife and the woodland

  • Keep camping areas tidy

  • Follow instructions concerning access, parking and vehicles

Campfires are normally permitted where conditions allow.

The use of fires may be restricted or prohibited at any time because of dry weather, high fire risk, forestry operations or other safety considerations.

Any instructions relating to fire safety must be followed.

Equipment and personal belongings

Please look after your own equipment and personal belongings.

Learn Bushcraft cannot accept responsibility for loss or damage to personal possessions unless that loss or damage results from something for which we are legally responsible.

We recommend that valuable items are not brought into the woodland unnecessarily.

Learn Bushcraft equipment

Tools and equipment supplied by Learn Bushcraft must be used according to the instructions provided.

Participants may be responsible for deliberate or reckless damage to equipment.

Normal wear and tear is excluded.

Some courses and experiences include food or outdoor cooking.

Please tell us about any relevant allergies or dietary requirements before attending.

We will take reasonable care when preparing food, but food may be prepared in an outdoor environment where it may not always be possible to guarantee a completely allergen-free environment.

We will explain any significant limitations where relevant.

Changes to activities

Bushcraft activities depend on weather, woodland conditions, available natural materials and the needs of the group.

We may adjust the order or content of an activity where reasonably necessary.

We will aim to provide an experience broadly consistent with the description provided when you booked.

Photography and video

We occasionally take photographs or video during Learn Bushcraft activities for use on our website, social media and other promotional material.

Where appropriate, we will ask permission before using identifiable photographs or video for promotional purposes.

Please tell a member of the team if you do not wish to appear in photographs or video.

Where children are involved, appropriate permission will be sought from a parent, guardian or responsible organisation where required.

More information is available in our Privacy Policy.

Behaviour

We want Learn Bushcraft to be a relaxed, friendly and welcoming environment.

We reserve the right to ask someone to leave if their behaviour is dangerous, abusive, threatening or seriously disruptive.

A refund would not normally be provided where someone is removed because of their own serious misconduct, subject to their legal rights and the circumstances involved.

Respecting the woodland

Please respect trees, plants, wildlife and woodland infrastructure.

Cutting living trees, damaging habitats or removing natural materials must only take place where expressly permitted as part of an instructed activity.
