There are trips running most weekends during semester and extended trips during the Uni holidays and long weekends. Mega-trips are run over summer for the keen and more adventurous.
Check out our calendar to find out what trips are coming up. We have a huge range of equipment available for hire by our club members. Just about any equipment you could hire for any of our activities can be hired from the club gear room. Most hire gear is also available for personal trips provided it’s not required at the time by a club trip. Gear hire is available from the club gear room and the hire rates are incredibly cheap – we only charge a small amount to cover gear maintenance and repair.
Our large member base is balanced between beginners and those experienced members who have been there and done that - everywhere! We also attract a number of exchange students from all over the world, who inject plenty of spice into the club. If you're interested in joining, the more the merrier!
