What does the “style and rating” of the trip mean?
Each trip has a style that describes the type of accommodation, transport, and inclusions you can expect, plus a rating to give you an idea of the physical challenge. This helps you know exactly what’s in store on each trip. You can check out what they mean here.

When does the trip get confirmed?
Each trip has a set minimum number for the trip to take place; both for UK weekends and overseas trips. Our trips are normally fully booked, however, if we do not reach the minimum numbers we may be required to cancel your trip. We will decide on whether an event is likely to be cancelled because of minimum numbers no less than 8 weeks before an event.
