• The leader will arrange transport from and back to these pick up points, but you must arrange your own transport to and from there.

• The leader will decide if the trip has to be cancelled because of weather or other circumstances, and will inform everyone accordingly.

• If you book in but then are unable to join the trip, please advise the leader as soon as possible, so they can update the Trip List and rearrange car-pooling.
