A Final Thought
If you are unwell, don’t come storm chasing! It’s close quarters and a tour can be ruined by illness shared in a small group. We reserve the right to decline your participation if you're unfit to travel. Let us know asap if you’re ill, so appropriate cancellations and refunds can be arranged if possible, and ensure you have adequate travel insurance to cover your deposit if we can’t refund or resell your seat due to late notice.
