    Hi all,

    I've just reinstated the Bell-Connor memorial page (link on the side). The articles are stored as jpeg images. As winter is upon us, it would be a good idea to visit the page [...]

Next Meet: 18/05-22/05 The Isle of Skye

The plan for this years post exams trips is to head to the midge cloud infested alps d'Brittania. There is plenty to see and do here with the infamous Black Cuilin ridge providing the UK's ultimate mountaineering challenges with the full traverse (a 2 day exped), or plenty of 1 day trips on offer to cover as much of the ridge. With the stunning Red Cuilin ridge providing a generally more amiable challenge. Don't forget to visit the fairypools and distillery too.

We will be staying here. £7 pppn for 4 nights = £28 trip cost + communal food costs

We have two buses for this trip so extra spaces available. 18 seats!

The club has maps to borrow of the area but please bring a compass, and skin so soft or DEET if you value your skin.

 

NB - If all goes to shit (weatherwise) current plan B is north wales, Llanberis pass area.
