Terms & Conditions
Last updated: January 2026
Please read these terms carefully before booking.
1. Booking and Payment
To confirm your booking, a deposit of 50% of the total cost is required. Your booking is confirmed when I receive your deposit and completed booking form.
Full payment is due 4 weeks before your trip start date. If you book within 4 weeks of the trip date, full payment is required at the time of booking.
Payment is accepted by bank transfer. Bank details will be provided when you book.

To cancel, you must notify me in writing at contact@munromicroadventures.uk.
Refund policy:
- More than 4 weeks before the trip: Full refund minus your 50% deposit
- 4 weeks or less before the trip: No refund
I strongly recommend you take out insurance against cancellation costs (see Section 5).
3. Changes or Cancellation by Me
I reserve the right to change routes, timings, or locations for safety reasons including weather conditions, ground conditions, or other factors affecting participant safety. My decisions on these matters are final.
If I must cancel your trip (for example, due to insufficient numbers or circumstances beyond my control), I will offer you an alternative date or a full refund. Any personal costs you have incurred (such as travel, accommodation, or equipment) cannot be refunded.
4. Changes by You
If you wish to change to an alternative date after booking, please notify me at least 28 days before your trip. An administration fee of £25 may be charged, subject to availability. Changes cannot be made within 28 days of the trip start date.
5. Insurance
You are strongly advised to take out personal insurance covering:
- Cancellation and curtailment
- Medical expenses and emergency rescue
- Personal accident

Mountain rescue in the UK is provided free by volunteers, but you remain responsible for any other costs including medical treatment, repatriation, or overseas rescue.
Personal equipment and belongings remain your responsibility throughout the trip.
