About

The 4C’s, Cambridge Town’s friendly and active club welcomes members with all levels of experience. Club members participate in a wide range of outdoor activities, including rock climbing, caving, mountaineering, and walking.

The club holds regular trips at a wide range of venues across the country and further afield, as well as additional trips organised by members between official meets. Social meetings are also arranged.
Club members can usually be found on a Wednesday night at the Elm Tree from about 10pm. Parking opposite the main Police Station or in the Queen Ann car park. Prior to this some may be found at the Kelsey Kerridge climbing wall; see the climbing page for more details.

Guidebook Night
Join us at The Castle Inn on 22nd October at 7:00pm for an evening of big plans, bold ambitions, and far too many guidebooks.
Bring along your favourite climbing or caving guidebooks, maps, trip ideas, and dream objectives as we look ahead to the adventures we’d like to tackle over the coming year. Whether you’re plotting epic expeditions or just hunting for your next weekend trip, there’s something for everyone.
We’ll also be chatting about the future of the club and looking for a few enthusiastic people who might be interested in joining the committee, so come along if you’d like to help shape what comes next.
