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.
