The Club arranges one-day meets, known as Day Meets (though a few are “Overnighters”!), roughly every fourth weekend throughout the year. They are usually advertised by reference to a particular mountain or walking route, but not everyone need tackle that particular objective, and there is no question of Day Meet participants going there in one large group. Destinations are as varied as possible, going farthest afield in the longer daylight hours of summer.

Suitable transportation (coach, mini-bus or car-sharing) depends on the destination, proposed routes, and the likely number of participants. A stop is often made on the return journey for a pre-arranged high tea, or for a pub meal, or fish and chips.

The Club accepts no responsibility for arranging parties, and members are left to decide where and with whom they will walk. However, the Meet Organiser ensures that an experienced member goes with a group, called the President’s Party (though usually without the President!), which gives newer members a chance to get to know other members. It is vital that everyone returns to the transport at the hour arranged; it may not wait more than a short time!

Members themselves must ensure that they are adequately equipped (see Equipment Checklist) for what they plan to undertake, to choose objectives in keeping with their capabilities, and generally to be responsible for their own safety. Even when walking with others, it is essential that each member carries his or her own map, compass and whistle, and in winter an ice axe and/or crampons (see Winter Essentials). Other necessities are proper boots, adequate warm and waterproof clothing, and ample food and liquid.

Bookings for Day Meets should be made with the Meet Organiser for the particular meet  (see Meets Calendar), usually by email or telephone in the first instance to check seat availability. Confirmation is by payment only.
