- Some of our walks are planned to be accessible by public transport. However bus times and even bus services are subject to change and walk details will sometimes vary to those set out in this programme. It is advisable to ring or e-mail the walk leader to obtain up-to-date information if public transport is involved.
- Throughout this programme various meeting points are mentioned. Those members unfamiliar with these rendezvous should phone the walk leader or event contact for guidance.
- All Bogtrotters are reminded that they are most welcome to attend any and all of our meetings – Committee, Planning and Annual. Should anyone wish to see the minutes then please contact our secretary who will furnish you with a copy.
- Children are welcome on our walks if accompanied by an adult member of their family. Any children who come will remain the responsibility of the accompanying adult.
- Dogs are not permitted on our walks.
- Photos of our activities, together with names of those participating, frequently appear on our website. Please let us know if this is not acceptable.
- Hostelling trips. Members who wish to arrange their own bed & breakfast accommodation whilst the group is staying in a nearby hostel are welcome to do so. They can then join us for the daytime activities and evening meal, if they wish. They would still be welcome to share travel arrangements.
- On day walks or weekend trips members may choose to share cars or take their own. Before leaving the meeting place please make it clear to the walk leader if you are prepared to take passengers, if you are willing to use your car to transfer drivers when this is necessary and if, for any reason, you will need to leave the walk early. Please do not leave the walk without telling the leader and letting him/her know which passengers you will be taking, if any.
- We try to make sure that we keep the number of emails we send out to a minimum. However these emails have been invaluable reminders for a number of recent social events and have ensured that these events were successful and not a drain on the clubs resources. If you feel you are getting too many emails than let us know.
- Before a walk starts members are entitled to obtain a clear and, as far as is possible, accurate description of the walk that they are about to undertake. They should be aware however that it is not possible for us to walk every walk in advance and even when a path is familiar to us things may have changed since we were last there. Different walk leaders have developed different styles of Walk Introduction. Some give a formal Health and Safety talk, others a more general Descriptive Talk and others dislike the enforced formality and give only a fairly perfunctory introduction! However before you come out with us, if you are in any doubt about the walk you are going to undertake, or your own ability to complete it, you should explain your concerns to the walk leader first.
