Hello to everyone and a belated  Happy Easter, I hope you've all had a nice relaxing time over the Easter holidays and are raring to get back out into the hills with LUUHC.

The calendar for this part of the term is as follows:

Sunday 20th April: Day hike to the Yorkshire Dales with a possible excursion  to the  Tan Hill Inn which is Britain's highest pub at 1732ft in Swaledale

Wild Camp Weekend 26th, 27th & 28th of April: Wild Camping in the Lake District

Sunday or Saturday 3/4th May: Last day hike of the year to Langdale in the Lake District. We would be very greatful if you would tell us what you think to running a trip on a Saturday rather than a Sunday for some trips as it will enable us to access transport more easily and get to different locations. It would be great if you could send me a quick e-mail or chat to me or Steve at a social so we can find out what you think to this.

 

Sign up for Sunday the 20th and the Wild Camp Weekend will be held this Wednesday (16th April) between 1130 & 1300 in the Arc Resource Lounge which is upstairs in the union building.

 

Wild Camping Info: This is a great opportunity to get a taste of the real outdoors by spending an extended time high up on the fells of the beautiful Lake District. Multiday wild camping involves carrying all you need to live, eat and survive in your rucksack for the time that you are out on the hill. Sleeping in a small group of tents at remote locations and waking up already on the hill!

Routes of Moderate to Hard difficulty will be run on this weekend, with the moderate route spending one night in a valley campsite (with access to toilets and showers).

If you're interested in giving it a go please check out the required kit list on the LUUHC Club Forum or come along to the Wednesday Sign up session to find out more http://leedshike.co.uk/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=34&topic=274.0

Finally the Wednesday night social will be held at the usual place at the usual time, Queen Vic Hotel at 8.30pm, if you don’t know where that is but still want to come along then phone our social secretary Mr Tom on 07749983485, after a few drinks at the Vic we may move on to another suitable location for dancing/drinking/generic university club antics…… or we could stay in the Vic for more drinks, the choice is yours so come along and badger the Mr Tom.

If you haven’t been along to a social before or just haven’t been for a while then please pop along, it’s a great way to meet people and to catch up on club gossip and future events.  

 

Talking of future events the annual club summer trip is nearly upon us, planning for this exciting event is already underway and the final destination will be revealed shortly…… It’s going to be exciting, it’s going to be big, and it’s definitely going to be worth while, so stay tuned to your email in-boxes and the club forum for further updates.
