Rendezvous & Transport
We have a car share system for those who wish to use it.
Petrol costs are shared by all the occupants of the car (a good guide for drivers is 15p a mile).

Bookings for hostel overnights are made through the weekend leader by the date shown in the programme (usually a month in advance), and they co-ordinate transport.
For weekends away, we take a packed lunch for Saturday and food to prepare a packed lunch for Sunday as well as any self-catering food for breakfast and dinner, and the Group usually provides tea, coffee and sugar.
We usually have a pub meal on the Saturday night, but this is optional.
Hostels now include sheet sleeping bags in the overnight charge.
We leave Exeter around 9.30 am on Saturday and usually manage to get a good walk on both days, leaving for home at around 4.00 pm on Sunday.
