Foray Programme 2023 (Provisional)

Please bear in mind that this programme may well be subject to modification. However, forays are very rarely called off due to weather conditions, unless it is exceptionally inclement! Changes will always be shown here so PLEASE check here before setting out to join a foray.

Please also note that some of these forays will be at SSSI sites or private property etc, so at these venues there will be STRICTLY NO PICKING, if this is the case we will try and contact you a few days prior to that particular foray as a reminder.

All forays start at 10:00 am unless indicated otherwise.

Please be aware that if during any foray some form of emergency crops up or you find yourself detached from the main group and leader(s) please call the DFG dedicated mobile on 07375 996014
