Rambling, in common with many leisure activities, contains inherent hazards. The safety of members is always of paramount concern, but accidents will occasionally occur. It is important that each member appreciates that they have a personal responsibility to identify associated hazards and to take all reasonable steps to eliminate or minimize the potential for an accident to arise.
