Emergency contact system.
All walks
All enquiries about late return of members must first be directed to the Leader’s home telephone number.
Do not ring the Police as they will know nothing of the Club’s activities and should only be informed if the Club through
appropriate Committee members believe that the party is in danger. Premature contact with the Police could seriously
waste their time and may cause difficulties for the Club later.
Backpacks and base-camps
Leaders are to advise participants of the name and telephone number of the person with emergency contact details. As
above the first enquiry is to be to the leader’s home telephone number. The emergency contact person is only to be
contacted if there is no response from the Leader’s home. It is the Participant’s responsibility to advise others who may be
concerned about them of those details.
Cancellation of Walks
If leaders are unable to lead their programmed walk, they are requested to arrange for another member to lead the walk,
rather than cancel it.
High Temperature Activity Cancellation Policy
From Minutes of DVBC Club Meeting 18th February 2010. “This was revisited by the Committee in the light of queries by Club members and second thoughts by Committee members. The following revised policy was adopted.
a) On days of Total Fire Ban in the region, all walks and bike rides will be cancelled.
b) If, at the location and expected time of the activity:
i. the temperature is expected to be greater than 35°C; or
ii) the Fire Danger is predicted to be Severe (Orange) or greater,
then all walks and bike rides should normally be cancelled.
c) If, at the location and expected time of the walk or ride:
i. the temperature is expected to be greater than 30°C; or
ii. the Fire Danger is predicted to be Very High (Yellow),
then the Leader should, after consultation with other walkers/riders, use his or her discretion to cancel, modify or continue the walk.
11

Hard Consistent walking in difficult terrain, rock scrambling, thick scrub, steep ups and downs, creek crossings.
Experienced and fit walkers only. Walking time 6 to 10 hours, 10 to 20 km.
Exploratory.Walks in terrain unfamiliar to the Leader but does not necessarily mean a difficult walk.
It is most important that before you consider going on any walk, particularly those graded medium or more strenuously,
you should consider whether you are sufficiently fit and experienced and have the necessary equipment. All walkers are
not necessarily suited to all walks. Please check the grade and classification of the walk and if you have any doubt check
with the Leader.
Limitations.- Walk leaders will limit numbers participating depending on the nature of the walk.
Sunday walks
To assist with planning all day walkers should notify the leader no later than Thursday prior to a walk.
Wednesday walks
To assist with planning, all walkers wishing to participate in any Wednesday walk should book in with the Leader no later
than the Monday prior to the walk.
Backpack, Base camp etc.
All walkers intending to participate in a weekend activity must notify the Leader at least 10 days prior to that weekend, to
assist with planning.
Bike Rides
Your bike must be in good condition and, unless you are super fit, that your bike has gears and you know how to use them.
In particular you must have a spare tube which will fit your bike in case of puncture and some tools to remove your wheel
(or quick release levers) and tyre.
Other Information
All scheduled walks are run regardless of the weather although the Leader may at his/her discretion change or cancel the
walk to suit conditions on the day, particularly if safety warrants such as on Total Fire Ban Days.
People who book where it is necessary to pay a fee eg. Wilson’s Promontory, must pay after they have booked whether or
not they can attend. Also remember that if you have booked for a walk and cannot attend please inform the Leader as soon
as you know.
Additional walks
If there is a free Sunday, or if you want something different then volunteer to Denys Amos 94394750 to lead your
favourite walk or try out a new walk.
Transport costs and driver re-imbursement.
A rate of 25 cents per kilometre has been determined by the committee to be the fair and equitable average running cost of
a car. This does not include general wear and tear on the car, only actual running costs. This rate is divided amongst the
number of passengers in the car and does not include the driver. The driver has the responsibility of driving and ensuring
vehicle is roadworthy, adequately fuelled for the trip as well as any cleaning of the car after the activity. Where there are
the same number of passengers in each car the payment to the to the car driver will be the same for each passenger on that
activity.
12
The rate is 25cents per kilometre divided by the number of passengers. A round trip of 120 kilometres (ie 60 km each
way) with three passengers will cost $10.00. See examples below of the cost per passenger:-
Round Trip Distance in Kilometres.
Number of passengers 60 75 100 120 140 160 180 200 220 240 260
2 7.50 9.40 12.50 15 17.50 20.00 22.50 25.00 27.50 30.00 32.50
3 5 6.25 8.35 10 11.70 13.35 15.00 16.70 18.35 20.00 21.70
4 3.75 4.70 6.25 7.50 8.75 10.00 11.25 12.50 13.75 15.00 16.25
It is practicable to round up to the next dollar for ease of payment.
A short hand method:- Divide the total distance by 4 and call it dollars. Divide the dollars by the number of passengers.
So a round trip of 150 km divided by four is $37.50 divided by 3 passengers is $12.50.
If you have more in some cars than others you also need to multiply the dollars by the number of cars and then divide by
the number of passengers. If all cars are full then because large cars may use more fuel you could have those drivers
taking extra because of size also receiving extra. Leaders are to use their discretion.
