We organise 2-3 weekend trips per term, staying overnight in huts or bunkhouses. Longer outings take place during each vacation. We normally go to the Lake District, Snowdonia, the Peak District and the Pennines, with less regular visits to other hilly areas such as the Brecon Beacons and Dartmoor. For recent trip locations see the Trip Locations page.
Trips will appear be posted well in advance, and are advertised on the mailing list when sign ups open, two weeks before the trip. Make sure you are familiar with the Safety & Equipment section before joining a trip.
The committee can — and will — refuse to take people on walks whom they feel are inadequately equipped.
Before you go on a trip...
Each term, we organise three weekend trips, with day trips interspersed in between, and additional longer outings taking place during each vacation. We normally go to the Lake District, Snowdonia, the Peak District and the Pennines, with less regular visits to other hilly areas such as the Brecon Beacons and Dartmoor. Click on the links on the sidebar to find out more about the types of trips we offer.
You will need a pair of sturdy walking boots, a rucksack, a decent set of waterproofs and warm clothing, as we walk all year round. There is more on this in our Kit Lists and Mountain Guidelines. While the club does have a limited amount of equipment to lend to members, note that you will need your own boots. The committee can — and will — refuse to take people on walks whom they feel are inadequately equipped.
If you decide to join us, great! Please read through Information before signing up to a trip.
