Trip to Portland
The south coast manages to have its own microclimate and you can often get
really beautiful weather there during the winter months while we’re
freezing at home.
The provisional plan will be to stay at the Portland Bunkhouse.

Beginner/New Member’s trip to the Peak District
A perfect time for new members to get to know the club and the rest of us
to dust off our cams. We will likely do a mix of single pitch sport
climbing and single pitch trad climbing depending on preference.
