Most journeys will be between the hours of 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday. However, throughout the year there will be events and residentials that overlap with evenings and weekends. The driver team are made up of volunteers who have different schedules in the personal and work lives, and can offer their time at different times during the week. The more drivers we have, the better chance we have of covering all of our events and activities.
