!!!!!PLEASE READ!!!!!!
This is a placeholder. Signups will open two weeks before the trip goes ahead. A registration does not guarantee that you will participate. I will create a pool of people and decide on numbers based on experience/number of cars/equipment available.
Due to safety, I reserve the right to decide who will participating in the trip. As such, please provide an outline of your experience in the response box if I have not been on a trip with you. If you don’t do this, I will cancel your registration.
Beginners are strongly encouraged to join up, but I am not a guide. I will sort out group gear and will hold a pre-trip to make sure everyone is aware of what the trip will involve, but you are responsible for your own safety and ensuring you have the appropriate equipment and ability.
