The Club have been prepared to encourage the use of the Denton Travel Services minibus for Club events by subsidising fares as minibuses leave a significantly lower carbon footprint per passenger than any other form of public transport. Events in 2023 received a £688.50 subsidy with events in 2024 receiving £510. So far in 2025, the Ambleside event received a £73.60 subsidy, Great Langdale received a £96.60 subsidy, Honister Pass received a £74.60 subsidy and Martindale received a £140.60 subsidy. Disappointingly, a lack of membership support for both the Whinlatter [26th July] and Mungrisdale [4th October] events resulted in their cancellation.
