Aspen 2007

We are pleased to announce plans for a trip to Aspen in October 2007.

As a result of the survey taken up after Denver Day last November, we are planning to make it a two week trip taking in some of the sights included on our previous tours plus Durango and the San Juan Mountains. The proposed itinerary is set out below.

As yet we are unable to give an indication on price other than to say that, due to increases in the price of fuel, both the airfare and the bus hire are likely to be more expensive than in previous years. Nonetheless we will make every effort to find the cheapest deals available without compromising on either standards or safety.

If you are interested in going to Aspen in 2007 and would like to receive further details, as and when they are available, please register your name and contact details at aspen2007@fojd.org.uk.
