How is transport arranged?
It is up to you each person to organise their own transport. Carpooling is the best practice but is not a responsibility of the club. At Copley street we arrange car pooling. If you can offer space in your car please let us know. If you need a lift we will do our best to facilitate you. As a group we go for a meal after the hike, if you take a lift, please respect the drivers wish to stay, or not, for the meal and do not influence it . If you carpool, please contribute €10 towards their driver's costs at the start of the day and do not put the driver in the place of having to request it from you.
