Wednesday night is social night and usually we re down at the Fitzooth and Firkin in Broomhill, though often we have other events such as the annual progressive meal and pancake party, as well as video nights, barbecues and anything else that we think of. Often there are parties round at other members houses and it is unusual for there not to be some fresh gossip to emerge from one of these drunken events. Although the Peak District has lots to offer, we also like to go further afield and twice a term we have weekends away to the Lake District, North Wales, the Yorkshire Dales or the Scottish Highlands. These are subsidised by Club funds and usually cost only 30 which includes transport, food and accommodation, which is usually in a bunkhouse or hostel. In the winter we offer winter mountaineering instruction - teaching you how to use ice axes and crampons as well as all the other skills that you need for a winter day.
Instruction is by qualified instructors and again all technical equipment is provided.
For insurance purposes you MUST be a member of the Club before coming out on any of it's activities. It costs 12 to join for the academic year and this covers your insurance, use of equipment, subsidises weekends away and gives you subscription to our monthly newsletter Peakaboo .
