Our Office Hours are
Monday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday. 06.00-14.20,Inclusive of M,R.
Tuesdays 06.00-13.20
Saturday 05.30-12.50.
Since some of the walks have gone over to this sequenced mech it is now causing problems for some of the walks to get back,which is also being made worse because of staff coming in before they are due to start and sorting what ever they can get their hands on for their walks,as more go over the friction will get worse.The mech mail is coming up later and to be honest it is only road sorted not fully sequenced so is only of benefit if someone is going onto a walk that they have'nt done before.Never mind it will soon be Easter!

The proposals for Dunfy mean that they want us to start at 0700 on a Saturday,so you can imagine that has'nt went down too well with folk who have season tickets for Celtic,RangersJambo's etc
