Valuables such as jewellery, mobile phones, may become severely damaged during activities and are therefore best left at home or taken off beforehand for these reasons.

It is the responsibility of each individual to ensure they carry any essential medications on their person. In adverse conditions we will supply a suitable watertight container for these items.
