Transport & Accommodation Presale

To make our adventures more affordable, flexible and community-focused, we're introducing USVE Presale for optional transport and accommodation.

The guided hikes are confirmed and will go ahead regardless of Presale numbers.

To help us organise the best possible experience, you can choose to purchase:

🚌 Coach Presale – £5

Reserve your interest in travelling with the group by coach. Once we know final numbers, we'll book the most suitable transport and send everyone a secure payment link for the remaining balance.

🏡 Accommodation Presale – £5

Reserve your interest in staying with the USVE group. We'll use Presale numbers to secure the most suitable accommodation and negotiate the best possible group rates. Once booked, you'll receive a payment link for the remaining accommodation balance.

Your £5 Presale payment will be deducted from the final cost of your coach or accommodation booking.

If there isn't enough demand for either option, we'll let everyone know and your £5 can  be refunded in full.

This approach helps us book the right size coach, secure the best accommodation, and keep costs as low as possible while creating the best community experience.
