As a rough guide, these are the main weather conditions where we may need to contact you:

• snow and ice, making the ground treacherous
• heavy fog, which severely restricts visibility of the group by our staff
• lightning
• amber weather warnings
• yellow weather warnings, as although tours still tend to go ahead, we may need to use a different foreshore

Access to the foreshore is via a set of steep stairs and may not be suitable for patrons with limited mobility. Please contact us if you need further information.

Following the PLA’s regulations, if you don't have a permit you're not allowed to remove items from the foreshore.

Both permit holders and non-permit holders need to report objects of interest to the Portable Antiquities Scheme.

Visitors on the tour may take photos of their finds before returning them to the river. Guidance will be given on the day.
