Members climb regularly at Big Rock on Thursday evenings, starting 19:00 alternating between Hub at Kingston and Bond in Bletchley, see our WhatsApp Chat Group.

Club meets are open to members of all abilities and the organiser will book hut accommodation on behalf of the club or, for camping meets, members will need to book their own.

All members are welcome on independent meets but these trips are aimed at a more intermediate level of activity with more autonomy, where activities and accommodation will be down to individuals to organise.

This is our New to rock weekend. We will do sport and trad so you can get a feel for outdoor climbing and get advice on taking it further. You will need a harness, belay device, rock shoes and a helmet. The club has helmets and harnesses to borrow if needed. Please let the organiser know if you are interested in new to rock as we will need to make sure there are enough experienced members on hand.

June 06-08: Camping meet – Sweet Hill Farm, Portland, Dorset. Organiser – Neal.

Cost is £13 per person per night. This is a self booked meet so please sort out your own pitch and payment.

Activities: Portland is a prime sport climbing area with multiple cliffs across the grade range. Access is generally via paths and short fixed ladders rather than abseil. It is also on the  Jurassic Coast with walks along the costal paths and the sea is there for a swim after climbing or other activities. You could even paddle board.

June 21-28: International meet – Cortina, Dolomites, Italy. Organiser – Peter.

Costs depend on final accommodation choice but as a rough guide:

• Flight from Birmingham or Gatwick to Verona – £300 including hold bag
• Accommodation – to be split between (up to 11) attendees but around £300-£450. Will be an AirBnB apartment or such like. You are also welcome to camp but you will have to arrange this yourself and I suspect that unless you are driving kit size is an issue.
• If you wish to come and stay in the accommodation please pay a deposit of £200 into our Club bank account. Please include your name and “June 25”’ as a comment. Email the trip organiser to let them know you have paid – first come first served. 

Activities: climbing, walking, Via Ferrata and possibly a hut to hut route

August 22-25: Camping meet – Caerfai Farm Campsite, St Davids , Pembrokeshire. Organiser – Neal & Peter.

YOURSELF trip – book directly on their website and please let the trip organiser(s) know when you have done so.
Cost per night is £12 per person. Accepts tents and motor homes no caravans.

Activities: Sea cliff climbing (AWESOME!) and walking on the coast.

Note: All weclome but sea cliff climbing requires confidence in abseiling and seconding. Self booking at campsite. If you want to climb in Range West you will need to attend a briefing at Castlemartin Range earlier in the year.

Craig Cywarch with 70+ ‘trad’ routes ranging from M to E7 is very accessible from Bryn Hafod. Over the last few years, a number of routes have been cleaned of vegetation making them easier to find and climb safely.
