How it works

When you sign up for a hike, you will be placed on the list of participants. Not later than the Monday before the hike, you will receive a payment link. Once I have received the payment, your booking is confirmed.

About three days before the hike, you will receive an email with all the information you need. I will let you know where and when we will start and finish, give you advice on what to bring and anything else you might need to know.

On the day of the hike, we will meet at the starting point, or travel there together, depending on where you live and what you prefer. The group will not be bigger than 20 people. We will hike together, taking time to enjoy nature, the landscape and each other’s company.

The end point of the hike is either the same as the beginning, or in a different location. All locations can be reached by public transport. From the end of the hike, we travel back home.

Cancellations

Any hike may be cancelled due to bad weather (e.g. rain the whole day or storm). In that case, you will get a full refund. If you need to cancel your participation in the hike, you may do so up to 48h before the start of the hike to get a full refund. Cancellations later than that will not be refunded.
