The purchase of travel insurance is mandatory to cover any unexpected delays (if travelling by public transport to the event), medical problems, damage, theft, cancellation etc. You are advised to organise this at the time of booking to ensure you are covered immediately.

Travel insurance is a cost-effective way to protect yourself and your equipment, as well as protecting you before departure. We advise you to buy insurance as close to booking as possible to protect the loss of your registration fee because of cancellation due to injury, illness (including Covid-19) etc.

We’ll send you lots of information and advice about raising money for the Royal British Legion, posters to publicise your participation in the event and collection pots are available on request.

We’ll include all the information you need in your registration pack when you sign up to the event and give the link to set up your online Castaway JustGiving page.  Please remember to let us know the link to your page so we can ensure all donations are credited to you. There is a link that will automatically link with the event in your welcome email.
