Here is the all-important list of where the club is going each weekend! Further info about each of the huts we will be staying at is on the huts page (or just click on one of the huts in the list below).

NOTE: The OS map numbers are shown as a guide only - in some cases the meet location may cross the edges of more than one map and the map(s) you need will depend on the route you plan to do. Always double check map coverage area before buying a new map. The OS Website has a map shop which shows the exact coverage of each map with an option to view a scaled down image of the map, which can be useful for this.

Where unspecified, Climbing Meets will go to either an indoor climbing wall or outdoor rock/ice climbing venue depending upon the conditions at the time. The outdoor rock climbing season is generally spring-summer and the outdoor ice climbing season is generally midwinter but conditions do vary. The destination for each climbing meet will be announced at the time via the announcements forum.
