We also normally meet in one of the cafes afterwards for a free drink (please bring a re-usable cup) and chat.
Car parking passes can be arranged by the task leader.
Come be a part of something special!
Tasks may be changed or cancelled at short notice due to local park conditions or unforeseen circumstances.
