Cancellation policy

Please note that the Club has the following hike cancellation policy which applies to all hikes that require advance payment (such as weekend hikes and permits):

• A hiker is only booked on a hike when he or she has paid for the entire hike – including accommodation and permit fee (if applicable) - on or before the date specified by the hike leader. Failure by the hiker to pay timeously, and in full, will result in automatic forfeiture of the booking and the allocation to another hiker on the waiting list, if there is one.
• A hiker will not be allowed to participate in a hike unless the amount due has been paid in advance and in full.
• The substitute hiker will be provided with a date to pay by the hike leader. Rule 1 above applies to the substitute.
• If a hiker has paid the full amount and then cancels the booking, the hiker will only be entitled to a refund when a substitute is found and has paid in full. It is the cancelling hiker's responsibility to find an able substitute acceptable to the hike leader and there is no obligation on the club or hike leader to find a substitute.
• The hike leader may refer details of any substitute on the waiting list to assist the cancelling hiker but, by so doing, neither he/she nor the Club assumes any responsibility to do so.
• If a replacement is not found, the hiker who has cancelled will not be refunded all, or part of, his/her deposit/full payment.
• If a refund is to be made, this will only happen once the hike has taken place and the hike leader has done a reconciliation to ensure that the club is not out of pocket in any way.
