University of Manchester Hiking Club

Welcome to UMHC

One of the most active societies in the university, running hiking trips every weekend. A great way to keep fit, meet interesting people and visit beautiful parts of the country. There is also a huge variety of social events and hikes and socials nearly always finish up in the pub!

We organise a wide range of socials and there's normally something every week - details on the socials programme!

Fundraising
For the year ending at the AGM in March, our fundraising total was an amazing £1,682.15! This was raised through things like taking part in the Bogle and selling doughnuts to hungry hikers! Thanks to all those who took part in our fundraising activities and/or donated money! The money we raise is donated to Mountain Rescue, who we hope we'll never need.
