Weekend Meets
See below for details of this year's meets
Coronavirus
In the light of advice from the government and BMC, weekend meets are under review. Please check this page for more information
We aim to hold a weekend meet every month. * Usually we stay in climbing huts which provide cheap basic facilities, usually in shared bunkhouse accommodation, or camping in the summer. You will usually need to bring a sleeping bag and your own food. Sometimes there is the option to eat in a nearby pub, and occasionally a communal meal may be arranged which is paid for separately from the meet itself.
* The December meet usually includes the club's Christmas Dinner. This is usually held at the beginning of the month so there may not be a meet in November.
We need a volunteer on each meet to act as the meet organiser. This isn't very onerous, but it is essential for the smooth running of the meets. More information about what this involves here.
If you would like to volunteer for this role on any of the meets, contact the Meets Secretary

JULY 18-25 LUNDY
18-25 July 2020
We've booked the Barn for a full week on Lundy Saturday 18 - Saturday 25 July 2020. This is a fabulous and fascinating place, loads of rock climbing but also plenty of interest for non-climbers. This is close to the end of the bird bans so with luck some cliffs may be de-restricted, but if not there is still plenty to go at.
If interested, please get in touch with Andy Crawley. A deposit will be required as the club has had to pay a substantial deposit for the accommodation.
This is now FULLY BOOKED. However it may still be possible to camp.

Camping on the the beautiful Mawddach Estuary The site has won the North Wales Tourism Award for Best Camp Site and a Green Snowdonia Award for Most Sustainable Camp Site. Yurts and a Shepherd’s Hut are for hire for the less hardy. Dogs on leads are welcome,
