 Welcome to the Yomps blog! As volunteer coordinator at Yomps, I'm lucky enough to get out on our trips from time to time and I've decided to create an online account of my travels. I've decided to create this blog for a number of reasons. Firstly, for those of you who are thinking of coming out on one of our trips, it will give you yet another valuable source of information for your travel research. Secondly...and probably most importantly...to help those of you who have already secured your places. Hopefully, in addition to chatting to you on the phone from time to time and sending out my e-mails, it'll be a welcomed addition to help guide you through the pre-departure steps and ensure that everyone arrives safely at the rendezvous point on time, ready to get stuck in! If you want to read more about Yomps and any of our fantastic trips, then visit http://www.yomps.co.uk. If at any point you have any questions for myself or Yomps, then why don't you send us an e-mail on info@yomps.co.uk or call us on + (44) 845 006 1435. It would be great to hear from you! Bon Voyage!
