There are no real restrictions, for individuals with disabilities we will choose a venue to suit your needs and extra staffing can be made available on request.
What about the weather?
The weather would need to be really bad to stop our sessions; if it turns bad on the day we would try to have an alternative activity on hand.
Can I bring spectators?
You can bring spectators; we would give them a safety talk and advise them of a safe area to view the activity. Once the session is running it is sometimes difficult for spectators to follow the activity as you will be moving around the lake
