Mercian Mountaineering Club

Do you LOVE grazing Brontosauruses? giant-pooping Triceratops? Dilophosauruses with no sense of decorum? Then you'll love Dorset's Jurassic Coast which - going by the name - has herds of live dinosaurs roaming around. Otherwise why would they call it that? Right?? There is also some climbing at Swan...

Hi all, This post it to gauge interest in a Mercian Snow Week(end) in 2026! We've previously done trips to Scotland in February in search of snow and ice but they've been fallow for a while now. I will search for accommodation based on the number of people signed up here - be warned it may be privat...

Come with us to Deiniolen! Village slogan "those extra Ls are actually Is". A great hut with prime table dancing opportunities (see NY 2023 for details!). Primary purpose of this hut is to shake your fist at the shittest hill in Wales - Elidir Fawr - and mutter darkly as you leave the hut ...

There are 26 places Ana so you're in. I just couldn't be bothered to type out all the empty spots...

Do YOU love dancing with death? Do you laugh in the face of danger? Are you willing to face....The Stove? Then join us at the Agnes Spencer hut in Patterdale - a popular hut, small but perfectly formed and kept toasty by the breach of the Geneva Convention they keep right in the middle of the lounge...

I'm not coming on the meet but will accept some galette des rois in the post...

Llanberis - the extra L is for LOVE because who doesn't love the outdoor capital of Wales. This time we're staying at the Merseyside MCs cracking little hut just above the town with great views of Yr Wyddfa/Snowdon and Cloggy. The hut has easy access to most of the iconic climbing, walking and mount...
