Here is our walk risk assessment.
The Club carries a civil liability insurance with the British Mountaineering Council. The policy covers members for any claim made against them for any civil liability arising in connection with hill walking, climbing and mountaineering. The limit of indemnity in respect of any claim made during the period of insurance is £10 million for any one period. The cover operates worldwide and there is no excess applicable. The cover does not apply to people who are acting as professional instructors, guides or in a similar professional business capacity. Liability protection covers you for claims against you for injury or damages caused. You and your assets are protected if you are taken to court, for example, for dislodging a rock that caused injury to someone else and that person sues you. Individual cover is effective from the date of joining the club and paying the club subscription. Members are advised to renew their subscriptions promptly to ensure that they have civil liability cover.
The BMC also offers individual travel insurance which provides personal accident cover up to £25,000. Further details of these policies can be obtained direct from the BMC.
