The Outdoor Alliance (in which SWOAPG and WATO are active members) is currently working on a range of advice for Welsh Government to facilitate as smooth a return as possible to adventurous outdoor activity as the Covid-19 lockdown eases – including a sub-group that is looking specifically at the safe return of ‘guided’ activity in its many forms. SWOAPG will keep Members informed as this activity progresses.

The BMC has already published a ‘climbing and hillwalking recovery plan’ to recommend to public bodies a phased approach that should be taken to re-introduce these activities as quickly and safely as possible; and other National Governing Bodies are working on similar plans.
