What if the weather’s bad?

If it's really bad on one day, you can either switch which day you play, or even start one day and finish the next.

If it's a total wash-out and you can't get round, we’ll give your money back, even if you've started the game.


Will it be too difficult?

Don’t worry, if you get stuck you can ask for a hint and Bess will get you on your way!

We make sure no-one ever gets completely stuck.


Is it too physical?

It’s 2½ miles walking but you can take as many breaks as you like.


Fun or your money back!

All we ask is for a quick phone call to understand why.
