Walkers could slip on mud or ice, they could injure themselves when climbing step stiles, get cut by brambles, stung by nettles and insects, and chased and possibly hurt by livestock. Where there is a 'Bull in Field' sign we always find an alternative route along a public right of way. We suggest all walkers do the same.
There is also the danger of being hit by traffic on the rare occasions when our walks follow a country lane or road. Hertfordshire Walker can take no responsibility for such accidents.
We have a page of tips that walkers might want to read before setting out.
Those using our walks need to make sure they are healthy and fit enough to do so. Some of the walks are physically strenuous and some walkers might suffer because of this. Please check the distance of the walk before you set off. It's important that walkers have the capacity to follow the walks safely.
Our walks follow public rights of way and, sometimes, permissive paths. They are correct at the time we tested and published them. But routes might be diverted or changed over time. The Hertfordshire Rights of Way (ROW) team has a page where people can report changes to routes. Hertfordshire Walker can take no responsibility for any changes to routes. For this reason we recommend people take an up-to-date Ordnance Survey (OS) map with them or use the OS app.
Having said all that, we do hope you enjoy our walks as much as we did when we mapped and tested them.
Happy walking.
Dave and Ellie Brewer
