🚩 Etiquette:
👍 Answer all RSVP questions whether you are on the waiting list or not.
👍 Study the description and meeting points. Preparation is paramount for an incident-free trip.
👍 Drivers especially need to know where to go beforehand, otherwise arriving at the wrong place, can inconvenience the whole group.
👍 Be considerate by keeping your RSVP up to date at all times, and do not pull out 10 days or less, before the trip begins, otherwise, you will block someone who may want to join.
👍 Please be contactable, to others. If organizers need to, or your passenger/driver need to make arrangements etc, then make sure private messaging (via meetup) is not blocked, your cell phone is turned on, and text messages are regularly checked.
👍 Pay your driver.
👍 Please DO NOT RSVP if you are going to join the hike late, or leave early. It just makes things complicated and difficult to organize.
👍 Keep together as a group – i.e. not too fast or too slow. If you think you are very slow please DO NOT RSVP.
Please do not become impatient with others who may be slower than you.
Thanks 😊
