Bookings and deposits 

In order to secure your place on either a holiday or navigation training course you will have to fill out a booking form and pay a deposit. Deposit amounts are as follows;

Weekend navigation training:£40
Week long walking holidays: £100

You can pay by cheque, payable to Lupine Adventure Co-operative and sent to our address at 16 Sholebroke Avenue, Leeds. LS7 3HB or by bank transfer. Bank details are available on request.

The balance of payment for both navigation training weekends and week long holidays is 42 days (or 6 weeks) before the start date of the holiday or training course. If you book within that 42 day period then the full cost of the course or holiday is immediately due.

Cancellations and refunds 

What follows is our official line and a worst case scenario. In practice we attempt to refund deposits and full payments as completely as possible without leaving ourselves out of pocket.

• Deposits are non-refundable.
• Cancellations made within 42 days of the start date of the holiday result in the full payment being non-refundable.
• Cancellations made more than 42 days before the start date of the holiday will result in the balance of payments being refunded if they were paid in advance. The deposit amount may still be held by Lupine Adventure to cover costs that we may have incurred.

Cancellations by Lupine Adventure

Lupine Adventure Co-operative reserve the right to cancel holidays and courses at our discretion. If we are forced to do so we will work with you to attempt to find you a suitable replacement or if not we will refund all of your money. However, Lupine Adventure cannot be held responsible for any other loss that you may have incurred due to cancellation of your course or holiday. You are advised to take out holiday insurance if you wish to be covered for this potential loss.

Safety on your Course or Holiday

Lupine Adventure Co-operative only hire qualified personnel whose ability we know first hand though working together 'on the hill'. All members hold current first aid certificates and will carry emergency equipment sufficient for the days activities. However, hill walking and rock climbing are not without a certain degree risk at their heart. Lupine Adventure Co-operative cannot be held responsible for circumstances outside of our control and participation is at the risk of the client.

Participants are required to bring personal walking equipment, some of this is essential safety equipment. If the Mountain Leader taking you walking that day is unhappy at the suitability of your personal equipment for that walk they reserve the right to refuse to take you onto the hill. There will be no monies refunded under those circumstances. Please feel free to discuss equipment concerns with us prior to your holiday or course, we will happily advise on purchases or bring spares that we hold if required.

You must inform us of any known medical conditions that may affect you during your holidays or course. 

Under 18's

On our week long walking holidays all people under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or a legal guardian.

Currently on our navigation training course we also require the presence of a parent or legal guardian. However, we are currently working towards a licence from the Adventure Activities Licencing Authority after which we will be able to welcome unaccompanied minors on our navigation training courses.
