OUTDOOR MEETS
We usually have two outdoor meets each month. These typically fall on the weekend of the first and third weeks of the month. We also take advantage of bank holidays to get more days in the hills or to get to more remote locations.
We generally travel out to the venue on Friday evening and back on Sunday and share lifts wherever possible.
Typically we camp in the summer months and stay in huts or hostels in the colder months, so you will need your own tent for the camping meets. If you don't own a tent, existing members may be able to lend you one (and other equipment) until you can get one of your own.
We don't explicitly organise climbs or walks for people to do on the meets. Usually the night before or at breakfast we make arrangements about who will be doing what. If you are new, please come to a social meet or go down the climbing wall before going on a meet so you can talk to some of us about the meet you are interested in.
If you are a climber, particularly if you are inexperienced, then please come and meet us before going on a meet so we can see which meets would be best for you to go on based on your experience. If you don't have climbing equipment you may be able to use existing members equipment if it is safe to do so.
