News
Thanks to everyone who came to Cornwall - it was a great trip to the end the year on. Have a nice summer, the club will return with new bosses in September.
The last day trip of the year passed successfully - a trip report is now on the website.
Just to remind everyone of the last trips of this year
Pembroke - 30th May
On the 30th May we're having a day trip to Pembroke for some sea cliff trad climbing. It will be warmer than the last Pembroke trip! The cost will be £7, and we will leave at 8am. If you want to come, please sign up on the website saying what gear you need.
Cornwall - 12th-17th June
After discussion and voting at the committee meeting, this will now be to Cornwall. There's some really good sea cliff climbing in cornwall - and it's a lot bigger than Gower. We're going to be camping, near Land's End, and the cost is likely to be around £30. The club went last year, and it was a really good trip. If you want to come please sign up, and if you own a tent could you tick the 'tent owner' option.
