Red Rope organises at least ten National Trips every year. Any member can book onto a National Trip – they tend to book ahead quite fast and there may be a waiting list – but 2 places are saved up to 3 months before, for members new to trips!
The list below shows our National Trips Programme. Full details, with organisers’ contact information are available to Red Rope Members in our MIS/Diary. We only release organiser details to Members. Diary
