As well as trips away, we have occasional days out. We are lucky to be able to access a variety of interesting places from Malvern – all of these days out were no more than 90 minutes away by car: Climbing at Woodcroft Quarry in the Wye Valley Keeping up with the e-bike riders who…

In the 2024 Christmas Trip post, we said that the weather ‘wasn’t perfect for spending time in the mountains’. It turns out that it was more perfect than the 2025 version. Two of us were determined, and headed up the somewhat diminutive peak of Allt-fawr. Most of the rest of the group went underground instead…

Staying at a large property near Fort William gave us plenty of options on the latest MMC winter trip, and with 8 people making the long journey we enjoyed a variety of different activities. The first four days treated us to good weather and conditions on Creag Meagaidh, and club members tackled Raeburn’s Gully, Cinderella,…

Not for the first time, we stayed at Idwal Cottage Youth Hostel for the 2024 version of the MMC Christmas Trip. And not for the first time, the weather wasn’t perfect for spending time in the mountains. Storm Darragh kept us indoors till lunchtime on the Saturday, after which most of the 15 of us…

The sun shone and we missed the rain on our recent trip to Stanage. Lots of climbing was done, and some mountain biking too. We enjoyed staying at Pindale Farm Outdoor Centre campsite and had a great meal at Bulls Head in Castleton on Saturday.

This weekend was billed as an ‘intro to multi-pitch climbing’, but all the attendees actually knew how to multi-pitch climb already. The weather in North Wales was looking less than ideal for climbing so… we took the opportunity to have a go at ‘snakes and ladders’ in Llanberis. It was on the ‘to do’ list…

This trip was put on to introduce people to outdoor climbing and the venue for Saturday was Borrowdale. After recent pretty miserable weather we were lucky to have a glorious day in the sunshine, and even the ground was far drier than expected. Excellent tutelage from the more experienced members of the group made for…

Three of the club spent a week in the Cairgorms staying in a lovely place in Aviemore, and playing in the little snow there was. The weather at the beginning of the week was rather mild, with the top of the plateau being snow and ice free, however we managed to find some snow in…

The 2023 Christmas trip saw us return to the Snowdonia Mountain Hostel in Nant Ffrancon with record numbers! Typical December weather (i.e. quite a lot of rain) led to some careful choices of timing and activities, with no less than four different options on Saturday. Those who were most prepared to battle the elements walked…
