The Club

We are an active club with regular outdoor meets throughout the year.
Members take part in hillwallking all year round and rock climbing in spring, summer
and autumn. We also have an Alpine meet in the summer and Scottish winter and
summer mountaineering meets. Also during the winter months we have indoor
social meets usually at Gleaston Village Hall, at these meets we hold slide
shows and a quiz. We have an outdoor barbecue at the club cottage
every summer.To see the meets list for this year visit the meets page

The Picture Gallery contains photographs of club members taking part
in all the above activities.

The club owns a Cottage in the Coppermines valley, Coniston. We hold
meets there and it can also be booked by outside groups. The cottage is
in a quiet location and is ideally placed for walking on the Coniston Fells and
climbing in Coppermines valley and on Dow crag. Other renowned Lakeland fells
and crags are only a short drive away. The club also has a reciprocal use
agreement with the Bowline club who have a hut in North Wales.

If you are interested in the club, and your own interest is rock climbing,
hill walking, mountaineering or skiing have a look at the membership section
where joining requirements and an application form are available. Also, have
a look at the meets list and join us on some of our meets.
