The return of one of our favourite club trips!

This Club trip to the excellent Shropshire Hills, a famous location for many a mountain bike magazine test ride and photo shoot! 

***This trip has now been confirmed for the 11th and 12th May 2019***

Hi All, list of people attending Shropshire Trip- SteveA, Alejandro, Chris A, ScottC, Jim, Martin J, Steve Anzio and Steven Wells (Craig is not staying).

Accommodation is "pod style" glamping. Approx £20 per person per night, subject to numbers attending/sharing. Really good pub and restaurant on site along with a bike shop too.
 
We will need a deposit of £20 per person (ASAP) payable to Club to secure accommodation and the balance will be paid to Club 2-3 weeks before trip. 
 
Club Bank details:
Bucks Mtb Club- HSBC - 40-08-68- 00118060

Total cost for the 2 days is going to be around £35, so pretty cheap.
 
The accommodation will be Pods with electric points and heater but that’s it, so sleeping blankets required. Breakfast in available in the pub next door (extra charge) or you will need to bring camping cooking equipment.
 
Evening meals will be in Pub next door washed down with a few Beers.
 
This will now be the way Club trips are paid for as in the past people have pulled out last minute and then the rest of the group has to pick up their tab which seems unfair!!
 


Location Shropshire Hills
This is a club trip organised through the club, all costs involved with the trip are the responsibility of each attendee.
Attendance only available to current subscribed club members
