Getting there:

It is obviously better if people lift share as much as possible.

This will be co-ordinated by Andy, please e-mail him stating the following -

*When you want to set off on Friday (ie if you are taking the day off or not)

*Where you will be leaving from

*Whether you are staying Sunday night

*If so, whether you will stay for a walk on Monday and what time you want to return.

Andy will then try to put people together, or you can organise amongst yourselves if you prefer.

Food:

Food for breakfast and packed lunch will be provided (small additional cost each)

No formal dining plans for Friday night so you can either eat on the way down or eat in the on site restaurant

Sunday plans will be made amongst those remaining to eat in a local pub.
