- It is hoped to retain the ethos of the expedition but whilst keeping safe, during these strange times.
- Expeditions are starting in August, as long as no further restrictions occur.
- We contact existing bookings to re-arrange expedition dates.
- New bookings will be given opportunities also.
- Groups sizes will be a maximum of 6.
- At the moment in England 4th July & in Wales 13th July have been identified as when campsites can open.
- However, a number of issues still occur, many campsites will only open for caravans and may not allow groups. Toilet, washing and washing-up facilities are an issue.
- Wildside would hope that youngsters will be able to social distance as much as possible, using the one metre plus 'rule' when needed. Being outdoors does appear to be the safest option.
- Participants must be Covid symptom free to start an expedition.
- Only one person per tent would be allowed, and youngsters would carry the equivalent share of a tent, even if they have slept in a 3 man tent. Tents will be quarantined for 72 hours between expeditions,
- Hand sanitiser must be carried and used frequently. All coronavirus protocols regarding hand washing, face coverings etc. should be observed by the participants.
- Sharing of cooking pots, & utensils should be avoided.
- It is hoped to retain the ethos of the expedition but whilst keeping safe, during these strange times.
