And thanks to all who came along and made the trip successful.

Just remember also that if you haven't paid for the trip ($25) that we need to cover our costs and that you can pay the club treasurers, Jess or Simon, at the meeting on Tuesday.

You are also more than welcome to write about the trip and post photos from the trip either on the website or to the publicity officers, Sarah and Steve, for including in club publications.

Although I didn't walk in or out with the club members, I did enjoy the dying embers of the Saturday night fire.

My first tramp since school and I had a great time! Thanks :)
