Norwich Ramblers
Trips Away
-
Welcome to the Norwich Ramblers Trips Away page. If you would like to come on one of our trips, please read the following.
- Each walker is responsible for arranging their own transport and accommodation. People often share. You can ask the trips' organisers if they know of anyone who may like to share accommodation or lifts
- YOU MUST RESERVE A PLACE ON THE TRIP BEFORE YOU BOOK YOUR ACCOMMODATION. Please email the trip organizer if you would like to come on one of our trips. Email addresses are shown below for each trip. We are registering attendance as our trips away have become very popular. We may have to restrict numbers depending on the availability of leaders, walks and car parks. This will be at each trip organisers’ discretion. You may like to take out TRAVEL INSURANCE for our trips away. The Ramblers offer Liability insurance to all its members on the walks, and Personal Accident insurance only to the leaders when leading, reccing a walk or on their way there & back.
- You will receive a welcome email a few weeks before your trip with information about the logistics, with a further email one week or two before the trip, with a detailed itinerary.
- DOGS ON TRIPS AWAY. If you are thinking of bringing a dog to your chosen trip(s), please ask the specific trip organiser (before you book your accommodation) if dogs are allowed, as they may decide their trip is not suitable. When possible, we will give an indication of whether the trips away will be dog friendly when advertised below. Thank you for your understanding.
- Please note that emails for trips away are usually sent as group emails, often with attached files. This increases the likelihood of emails going directly to your Junk/Spam email folders. Pease check your junk folders, or add the trip email address to your email address book or contact list to avoid this, or adjust your email settings to allow the trip email address, the process varies between email providers. Any queries unrelated to a specific trip, please email Trips Away Coordinator marita.ramblersn@gmail.com
