Before an outing

Tell someone where you are going and when you expect to return. Check current weather, sea conditions and access with your host or the relevant operator. Keep a charged phone and your accommodation contact available.

Choose an appropriate activity

Explain your experience and any participation concerns to the operator before booking. Ask what happens if the trip changes or is cancelled. This is a practical planning checklist; use the relevant professional or emergency service for an actual incident.
