Rain, wind, lightning: how we make weather calls and how to prep like a pro
A little British rain? We’re usually good to go. What triggers pauses are high winds, lightning, or conditions that reduce braking efficiency (think icy cables). We set clear thresholds and use real time monitoring; if weather crosses the line, we delay or re-sequence sessions for safety. Leading manufacturers and operators recommend exactly that: defined limits, live checks, and conservative calls in storms.
If severe weather forces changes, we’ll communicate quickly (text/email on the booking). Big UK operators take the same approach postpone or adapt when extremes hit so if you’ve adventured elsewhere, our policy will feel familiar.
What can you do? Dress like a hill walker on a fun day out: closed toe footwear with grip, light layers, and a waterproof you can actually move in. Gloves help on cooler days. UK safety guidance is simple: PPE has to be appropriate, fit properly, and not create new hazards so avoid loose scarves or slippery soles. We’ll check fit; you bring sensible shoes.
Bottom line: we’ll run whenever it’s safe and comfortable to do so and we’ll stop the moment it isn’t. That’s how you protect the fun without compromising the fundamentals.
