Programme

Come tramping with a friendly experienced team!

For departure points please phone tramp leader prior to day of tramp.

Day Trip Gear: Backpack with your lunch, snacks, a drink, (warm and/or cold) and a small personal first aid kit. Sunscreen and insect repellent come in handy. Wear layered clothing, polypropylene, fleece or wool and a parka, warm hat or sunhat, boots or comfortable trainers with thick socks. Sandals are never appropriate. Leave a change of clothes in the car, and a plastic bag for dirty footwear.

Transport is shared and arranged on the day of the tramp at the pre-arranged meeting place leaving exactly at the advertised time so please arrive at least ten minutes earlier.

Easy Option is an alternative shorter tramp that should be available if a suitable leader can be found on the day.
