On the 26-28th August, what was meant to be the AMC August Bank Holiday North Wales trip did a 180 degree U-turn prompted by the awful Welsh weather forecast and headed to Swanage – land of sunny adventurous sea cliffs. Over the two days, the team of eight – Max, Matt, Dylan, Maciej, Pete, Jake, Seb and […]
Trips
Chamonix Trip 2023
The AMC Alps trip took place in early June in Chamonix. As well as the official trip, there were also a large number of current and ex-AMC members in campsite with overlapping dates. Therefore we had a large AMC community in the Argentière campsite. We were extremely fortunate with the weather and conditions this year. […]
Pembrokeshire Trip – Easter 2023
Matt, Robbie, Tim, Hannah, Michael, Paul and I arrived at Bosherston Camp Site late on Thursday 6th April with Kate and Joe opting for the nearby National Trust campsite at Gupton due to them having hot showers! After setting up camp and having a few beers, we retired to our tents early to be fresh […]
Ben Nevis C.I.C. Meet 2023
At the end of March Tom, Josh, Steve, Paul and I stayed at the cosy CIC for four days of winter climbing. Hut Info Scottish Mountaineering Club (smc.org.uk) Annoyingly conditions were great the week before and the week after! We had to contend with a freezing level above the summit and rain until the last […]
Scotland Trip 2023
There were 15 of us staying on the Ardverikie estate near Lagan in Scotland at the beginning of March based around an old farmhouse. The forecast had not been promising but the weather proved much better than expected. A lot was achieved during the week with people sharing their knowledge of the area and offering […]
Lundy 2022 Trip Report
Saturday – Just Another Manic Lundy! We all met bright and early in Ilfracombe to board the MS Oldenburg to make the 2hr crossing to Lundy. With the ferry swaying and rocking in the harbour we waited with anticipation to depart – luckily the weather was on our side and once we were in the […]
AMC in Kalymnos 2022
If, like me, you are a person for which many a climbing trip has involved trudging up a hill in the driving rain then read on my friend, you are doing it wrong. Kalymnos gained fame for rock climbing in 1996 after it was discovered by an Italian couple. Prior to this the main source […]
Cornwall 14-16th October 2022
With the arrival of the main group and the [boziˈgran] / [bɵˈzigrən] balance restored, Saturday saw us take it back to the 50s with non-stop classics. Me and Gwenver climbed the ledges of Ledge Climb and Vianney and Luke climbed the rib of Alison Rib. Andrew climbed Victor and Richard, or possibly the other way around. Luke topped out Big Top with Big Matt, while on Little Brown Jug I grabbed the medium sized jug, and later, the big ones.
Chamonix Trip August 22
The AMC held a trip from 27th August to 10th Sept to Chamonix in the French Alps. At least that was the plan! Poor conditions reports and a flotilla of solo van drivers meant a measly four of us met at the perfectly positioned, but a bit rough Camping les Arolles in Cham. Next time […]
