Boots and Boat | Abbie Bikes Britain | The Broads

Walk description:

Join us on our boat and boot adventure around the How Hill Nature Reserve. 

The adventure will start at the How Hill Trust car park, where we will be dividing the group, with one half walking the easy 2.8 miles stretch to St. Benet's Abbey, and the other half going by boat through the scenic waterways of the Broads. At St. Benet's Abbey we will swap over and make our way back to How Hill, taking in the wonderful wildlife and fascinating heritage that the Broads has to offer.

This walk will be taking place as part of Abbie Bikes Britain project where Abbie will be biking the length and breadth of the country and climbing the highest point of each National Park to raise awareness about mental health and environmental conservation. #4minds4planet We will be working closely with the National Park

Media:

By signing up for a walk with us you are giving us permission to take photos for promotional use across our website and social media pages. We will also have a production team with us for the ascent, and you will likely be asked to present a short piece to Abbie for the camera about why you have decided to join us for the day.  If you specifically do not want media taken with you in it, we do not recommend you join this or any other Abbie Bikes Britain walk.

We encourage you to take photos and videos during your time with us but ask you to be sensitive to other members when sharing these across social platforms. Also, we'd love to have a copy of any you are particularly proud of so we share them too!

Accidents and Incidents:

Abbie and our hired Mountain Leader are qualified first aiders and will carry an appropriate first aid kit. Should you be involved in an accident or become injured during the walk it is important that you notify us as soon as possible so that appropriate action can be taken. Should you feel unwell or require first aid please let us know. Please use the booking form and the paper disclaimer you will be given on the day as an opportunity to raise anything you feel the walk leader should know about.

Due to the nature of walking in an outdoor area there is often a level of risk. You will need to take responsibility for your own actions, health and involvement during the walk and will be expected to exercise judgement based on your fitness levels as to whether you can complete the walk. Any queries please get in touch. You will also be expected to abide by any safety instructions and decisions made by us and have a duty to exercise judgement regarding your own personal safety and that of other members of the group. If you choose to ignore safety instructions we cannot be held responsible for the consequences.

Cars are left at the owner's own risk.

Weather:

The weather can play a major role in our enjoyment of a day's walking, and in some cases can present a real danger. We always review the weather forecast in detail the day before and will send you an email if we have to change any plans. This is however only likely if we feel heading out will put us at real risk. Please check the forecast for yourself and come prepared for whatever the weather! You should come fully kitted out for a full day's hike in the mountain.

Please note that the walks are weather dependent. Should the forecast present any danger, we will endeavour to review our plans but cannot offer an alternative route due to the nature of Abbie Bikes Britain.
