The lockdown restrictions have been eased in England to alow me to work again. So all of you who are going stir crazy and are in need of some big adventures, get in touch!
Coronavirus (COVID-19) is still a threat and we all have a responsibility to reduce the spread of the virus. SAGE evidence suggests that outdoor activities may present a lower risk of virus transmission, so all my courses will be provided outside.
Courses have been carefully designed, risk assessed with aid from medical experts and will be updated daily to follow current government guidance including social distancing.
If you are concerned about anything please feel free to drop me an email to discuss.
Steps taken will include but are not limited to:
- All courses will be delivered outside until climbing walls can safely reopen if needed. Refreshers for indoor mountain training courses can be delivered outside until further notice.
- Digital Covid-19 appropriate declaration of health submitted the night before your course. And confirmation each morning of your course.
- Social distancing (2m minimum)
- Cleaning hands regularly (hand sanitiser)
- Limited group sizes (4)
- Wearing face coverings if advice suggests or if you wish, I am happy to wear a face cover.
- Arriving in separate vehicles
- Choosing quiet locations and avoiding other groups of climbers
- Using own kit or using designated borrowed kit for the day
- All kit will be cleaned where possible or will have spent an appropriate amount of time in isolation before each course
In case of an emergency, immediate safety concerns or first aid incident where the 2m social distancing barrier may need to be broken, I will take measures to keep all involved safe. These may including wearing a face covering, keeping close contact to a limited amount of time; under 15 minutes if possible and avoiding face to face contact where possible (facing away or stood to the side).
Once the current Welsh lockdown restrictions are lifted appropriately, I will continue to provide outdoor climbing courses in Wales too.
