Trips

Red Rope organises trips in England, Wales and Scotland. These can be weekend or longer. We have about two trips a month. Trips may include various levels of walking and climbing depending on the location and the people on the trip. All members are welcome to go on trips organised by regions other than their own.

Places on trips have to be pre-booked with the trip organiser. Preference on any waiting list is given to members, and non-members pay 20% more. For more details about national trips contact the National Trips Secretary ( ). For trips organised by one of the Red Rope regions contact the regional contact or look in your Monthly Information Sheet for the trip organiser.
