Hi everyone!
Below you can find useful info about the trip.

HOW TO REGISTER:
Most importantly, make sure you're signed up to the mailing list to get our weekly emails telling you what's coming up. Most trips require signing up, which is easy! We can be found in the Student Activities Centre on the ground floor of the Students' Union building on Oxford Road each lunchtime from 12:30 to 1:30pm. Coach trips open the Monday before, and longer trips at least two weeks before the trip. You don't need to be a member to come, but it makes trips cheaper and you are insured by the British Mountaineering Club! Last but not least you get discounts in outdoor shops (ask to members for more precision). PLEASE NOTE THIS IS NOT THE CASE FOR FRESHERS WEEK HIKES, SEE THE POST IN THE EVENT DISCUSSION

To become a member, you must log in to the Students' Union website. Non-students can register as a guest. Once logged in, find our page to join the Hiking Club

PAYMENT:
Freshers week hikes will be at a special members rate of £10 for everyone! Please bring cash to the signup - we do not accept other forms of payment and require payment on the spot.

MEETING POINT:
As it's summer, the coach leaves from Owen's Park at 8:30am, the Students' Union at 8:40am, and Weston Hall at 8:50am, don't be late! We get back around 8:30pm, and many of us then head to Owen's Park for some deserved fish and chips.

PACKING LIST:
Basic Kit:
Hiking boots*
Walking trousers**
Waterproof overalls
Packed lunch
Hat and gloves (winter)
Headtorch (in winter)

Recommended Kit:
Waterproof trousers
Extra layers
Spare walking socks
Cash for the pub!
If you don't have any of the items of basic kit, we will unfortunately not let you onto the coach. This isn't negotiable, and is a part of the risk assessment we have filled in with the Student's Union.

*Hiking boots MUST have sufficient ankle support; we don't allow approach shoes! If you have any doubts, either attend the information evening during Freshers Week, or ask us at Sign Up. Also, as a rule of thumbs, shoes made by fashion brand such as Dr. Martens will not be authorized!

**Walking trousers do NOT include jeans, and if you wear jeans we will not let you on the coach. Tracksuits, shorts (weather permitting), leggings, and light, fast drying trousers are all encouraged.

If you have any questions do not hesitate to ask questions :)
