Weather Policy​

Newquay weather can be unpredictable! Walks will run in light rain or typical coastal conditions — this is part of the experience and can create fantastic photography opportunities.

However, in the case of:

• Severe weather warnings.

• High winds deemed unsafe.

• Hazardous conditions.

The walk will be rescheduled or fully refunded.

The final decision to cancel due to weather rests with the organiser.
