From April to October the Society organises a number of excursions to sites of geological interest, where each trip is led by someone with a special knowledge of the locality.  They are both informative and enjoyable and have proved to be a highly popular part of the Society's activities.

There are Saturday and evening excursions (see below), and a weekend and a week-long excursion each year - see the Week and Weekend Excursions page. Members are welcome to bring guests along to the excursions.  For details about transport, costs, meeting times and places, booking, safety and excursion guides, see the general information page
