Welcome to Cardiff University Rambling & Hiking Club
Cardiff is a great city surrounded by dramatic countryside just waiting
to be explored, with challenging mountains and interesting historical valleys.
So if you want to get fit while seeing the scenery of Wales and many places
further afield, also meeting many great people from all over the world,
come with us on one of our walks.
The club is regarded as one of the most friendly in Cardiff, older members
welcoming new members and many long standing traditions continued, such
as:
-
The Christmas Weekend Away, which always includes a huge Christmas dinner.
-
The Annual Summer Expedition. Previous destinations have included Ireland, the Auvergne, the Spanish Pyrenees, the Black Forest and the Czech Republic.
-
Weekend Trips each term.
During term time the club organises walks every Saturday and Sunday. Night
hikes are also planned occasionally.
The Rambling & Hiking Club is a highly active, friendly, sociable club catering
for all types of walker. All walks are lead by experienced leaders with
safety the primary consideration. Membership costs £10, plus £5 to the Athletic Union to cover
insurance. More information on how to join
Please visit these pages regularly to keep updated on our walks and
social events programme. |
