Most trips are on Saturdays. Leaders’ telephone numbers are listed below. If you are interested in going on a trip please contact the trip leader by Wednesday so that transport can be organized.Non members are welcome. Leave contact details in the event of a cancellation.

The trip leader co-ordinates the entire trip including transport and when to stop for morning tea, lunch, afternoon tea, rests and snacks. To reach the start/finish point for a trip we pool cars. Each passenger pays the driver the fee assigned to the trip.  All dates are Saturdays with Sunday as the reserve day.
