Interested in the Club but not sure whether it's for you? The Club invites you to participate in two outings with us as a guest before deciding to join the club.
Here is how to do that:
- You need to email the Outings Coordinator to tell them which outing you wish to attend (Note that it might be a day or so before you get a reply). They will give you a ‘Guest ID’ and Password so that you can login, and register for just that particular outing. You will receive an email informing you that you are registered on the outing or are on the waitlist.
Some tips that will help when you attend:
- Make yourself known to the outing leader, either when you arrive at the meeting point or better still, by email once you are registered. (The leader's email address can be found in the event details for each outing.) Note that return times are only ever approximate.
- Wear footwear and clothing suited to rugged terrain, and to the weather.
- Bring lunch, water for a full day (2 litres in summer, 1 litre in other seasons), basic first aid kit, and a loud whistle.
- In summer, bring insect repellant, rain, and sun protection. Some summer hikes include a swim, so if you like, bring a bathing suit.
- In winter, bring extra gloves, dry socks, hat, sufficient warm clothing, and rain, snow and sleet protection. If the ground is bare but expected to be icy (as often happens in spring and fall), bring a pair of ice-spikes that fit over your boot-soles.
- Be courteous, follow the leader’s instructions, pack out your litter, and stay with the group. If you have trouble keeping up, tell the leader immediately. If you become separated from the group, stop, stay put, and blow your whistle.
For more information, contact our Outings Coordinator.
We hope you enjoy your outing with us and decide to join.
