MWWC encourages carpooling to the start of walks where practicable. If you are a passenger in a car on a day walk you are expected to pay the driver an amount varying from $5 to $20 depending on the distance, to defray the costs for the driver.
For multi-day trips requiring the booking of accommodation or camp sites, and for social events (lunches, tours) etc there are additional costs involved. These will be made clear in the description of the activity.
