So how do you become a member?
To become a member is super easy. You need to hike with the club on one occasion before applying for membership - this is so that we can see if you are fit enough to hike with us and for you to get a taste and see if hiking is for you.
You simply meet at the hiking venue for your first hike (you do not need to book or telephone). Contact the office to obtain a hiking program for the month ahead.
After the hike, ask the leader of the day for an application form and get them to sign it off.
You then complete and sign the indemnity, and send it to club administrator, together with your Proof of Payment. We will then process your membership.
