ONLY BUY A LEADER/DRIVER TICKET IF YOU ARE A LEADER OR DRIVER
For the next walking day trip we will be going to somewhere in the Lake District (exact place to be decided).
As usual we will have more than one route available, so there will be something for everyone.
Because it is getting colder and darker earlier, if you want to come on this trip you MUST have the correct kit. If you need any help with aquiring this then please let me know. On the same trip last year we had a lot of snow so make sure you bring a lot of warm clothing -the event picture was taken on last years trip.
You will definitely need a headtorch.
We will be ending the day in the pub, so make sure you bring some money etc.
