Safety statement:
Adventure activities/sports are unpredictable. They have to be or we wouldn’t be drawn to them as we are. You are expected to know and be aware of this and act accordingly, therefor in the interests of safety, which 1st Adventure Tours and it’s staff instructors and partners consider to be our No1 priority, we expect all participants to comply with all reasonable requests which may be made of you for your own safety or that of the group.
Weather:
Weather is the boss sometimes and will influence choices which must be made or changed, sometimes at short notice. Sometimes we may change a route/destination slightly in order to capitalize on the conditions or get the most from your event. Should the weather dictate the cancellation at short notice or during your adventure, we will seek to provide another trip on a date as soon as possible after this cancellation for you.
Gear:
Details of recommended equipment and or clothing will be sent to you when you book with us or you can check our KIT LIST here. Neither 1st Adventure Tours nor any of our partners can accept responsibility for any damage, loss or theft of your personal property.
Scenarios:
During some of our training courses or how to’s, or in some of the team building activities, we will use role play as a tool to facilitate the learning from example of a variety of tasks, to benefit each student present.
It’s a good way to promote the development of each student and it’s never intended to criticize, make fun of or in any way belittle anyone, ever. Whenever it might be used it’s designed to recreate events which do evolve in the real world while leading or are part of a team, so ye should know this is not a personal slight or assessment, but it’s to benefit all.
