2. Website Purpose and Informational Nature

We publish Cornwall coastal walking guides, South West Coast Path notes, harbour town itineraries, tin-mining heritage tours and outdoor masterclasses. Content is for informational and recreational planning. Itineraries are recommendations, not guarantees of route conditions, tide access, opening hours, transport reliability, weather, or trip outcomes.

3. Acceptable Use

• Use the site lawfully and respectfully
• Do not attempt unauthorised access, introduce malware, or disrupt services
• Do not scrape or commercially republish substantial content without written permission
• Do not submit false, abusive or unlawful material via forms

4. Coastal Weather, Tides and Outdoor Safety

Cornwall's coastal paths involve cliff edges, steep ground, tidal access points, rapid Atlantic weather change, swell and other inherent risks. Before any walk you must:

• Check tide tables, coastal weather forecasts and daylight hours
• Carry appropriate clothing, footwear, map/compass (or equivalent skills), food, water and emergency kit
• Choose routes matching your experience and the day's conditions
• Be prepared to turn back if conditions, tides or swell deteriorate

Guides do not replace professional coastal leadership, guided instruction, or your own on-the-day judgement.

5. Fitness and Personal Responsibility

You are responsible for assessing your fitness, medical suitability and group capability for any route. If you have doubts about ability or health, seek appropriate medical or professional outdoor advice before attempting coastal walks.

6. Products, Bookings and Delivery

Your statutory rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 and Consumer Rights Act 2015 apply.
