Saturday 3rd January dawned clear and cold, it looked like we were going to steal a sunny days climbing from the gods. Nope nope, they had other plans. Members new and not so new met at 11am at Seawalls. After the usual covid declaration we paired up for the day, mostly with people we hadn’t met before. […]
December in pictures
Thanks to all who got involved with this months slideshow – I had lots of fun putting this one together! It’s brilliant to see what our members have been getting up to, especially when we haven’t seen each other for so long due to being unable to host our normal club meets. We have been […]
Seawalls Sunday meet
Thanks to everyone who pushed back the duvet and had positive thoughts about today:). You’re all crazy! The crag started dry with a few wet streaks. Drizzle only set in once all four rope teams were committed. Good practice for the real thing! Thanks to James R, Sarah, Will, George, Adam, Anthony and Kieran. Special […]
First snow of the winter season
Given that this weekend was the first post the latest lockdown it was always my intention to get out and about in the hills. After seeing some snowy photos of Plas-Y-Brenin instructors on Crib Lem Spur on Wednesday I hatched a plan to go up to the Glyders with two friends. Having not done Tryfan […]

Take a look at what our members have got up to during November 2020/2019: This is part of our new initiative to collect images from our members each month to collate into a slideshow to celebrate the activities of individual members throughout the year!

The format was simple, 2 hrs to find as […]
What’s the club doing during Covid restrictions? November Update.
What’s the club doing during Covid restrictions? As much as we can! We are obviously limited by the whatever local and national restrictions apply but throughout the summer of 2020, club members were organising climbing partners through the forum and posting about trips they were planning. The current restrictions mean that we can’t organise whole-club […]
Cheeky Lakes weekender
“I’m too old to sit in a campsite cooking on a gas stove, we have to go somewhere we can get a meal indoors.” So shifted the plan for our annual reunion from Wales (pubs for household groups only) to the Lakes. And the obvious venue was Coniston. I only ever seem to go to […]
Lundy 2020
Amidst the craziness and confusion of 2020 a group of four and a group of five of us headed out to Lundy to take over the two accommodations at the Old Light House. The Journey initially seemed somewhat confused by the ferry departing from Bideford instead of the usual Ilfracombe. This was then followed by […]
