Excursions
We organise excursions
from springtime to autumn:
including day, evening
and residential excursions.
Geology
The Geology Excursion Programme features a range of events, including our core programme of day excursions and local evening excursions, led by a geologist with expert knowledge of the locality.
Our geology excursions are informative, enjoyable and a highly popular part of the Society’s activities. The 2019 Excursions programme has now ended, and the 2020 programme will be published here in late February. In the meantime, you can browse the 2019 programme for an idea of the range of excursions that we offer.
The Excursion Programme for 2020 will be published here in early March, once our newsletter has been distributed to members.
