Changes to the Event or Cancellation
I am aware Adventure Therapy and/or Climb Devon reserves the right to change the route to abseil off of Dewerstone (in the interests of safety, nesting birds or on direction from the landowner), the event date or time or make any other amendment to the event that they deem necessary to stage the event. Any change to the event will be communicated to me as soon as possible. Should the event date be changed, your registration will be automatically transferred to the new date or a refund offered on request.
Adventure Therapy and/or Climb Devon reserves the right to alter the start time of my abseil. In the event of a change of start time the participant/s will be notified of the revised start time with as much notice as reasonably practicable. No refund or part refund shall be made for any change in start time for an event provided the event takes place on the specified date of the event.

If you are unable to participate, in extenuating circumstances, on authorisation from our Founder and Chief Executive, Adventure Therapy will refund any monies relating to your registration fee, after a deduction of a £5 admin fee. Any documentation or merchandise sent to you in relation to this event must be returned before the refund is processed.
Participant Safety Briefing
The safety of our participants, instructors, employees and volunteers is paramount.
Any participant that acts negligently, maliciously, with wilful misconduct or otherwise without due care and attention for the event or other participants, will cause the participants removal from the event and will not be entitled to a refund. Adventure Therapy and Climb Devon reserves the right at any time to remove participants from the event based on this.
Adventure Therapy reserves the right to cancel individual registrations or refuse entry to individuals, should there be a justifiable cause.
On the day of the event you will be given a safety briefing by our lead instructor from Climb Devon. It is vital you are available for this briefing and you will not be able to take part in the event if you are not available.
You will be required to wear a helmet and will be equipped with a harness. Ensure you do not remove safety equipment until you are told it is safe to do so by the instructor.
Please wear practical clothes that you do not mind getting dirty. Please bring warm clothing suitable for an active event, that you are comfortable in and that do not impinge your range of movement but are also not too loose and could therefore snag or tear. The weather can change quickly on Dartmoor and it is advisable to bring a waterproof jacket and a change of clothing and wear stout footwear. We also recommend you bring a snack and a drink, to keep hydrated.
