🇸🇮 Summer meet round up! 🇸🇮 That was a truly epic summer meet at Lake Bohinj, Slovenia. We summited Triglav, hiked the 7 lakes valley, biked, more via ferrata, paddleboarded, swam and soaked up the beauty. Slovenia has so much to offer and it was an amazing week. Fuelled by strudel and Radler lemon isotonic 🍋 ⛰️ 🥾

Come with us to summit Triglav! The highest point

Come with us to summit Triglav! The highest point of Slovenia. We took the Tomniskova route on the ascent and descended via the Prag route. A fun mix of scrambling, via ferrata and of course incredible views ⛰️

IronSam! 💪 Club member Sam decided to undertake a personal iron-man and it was no mean feat! She managed to navigate jellyfish, stay relatively on route while cycling and finally summited Snowdon - what an achievement! She was accompanied by fellow club members at every stage. Whether they were helpful remains to be seen 😉 Fantastic work everyone 👏

⛺️ May Bank Holiday meet ⛺️ Camping season is well and truly upon us! The British weather may have returned to business as usual but that didn't deter some hardy Mercians. Routes completed on Milestone Buttress and Tryfan. Climbing at Tremadog and Enoch and Dan even knocked out the Rhinog Traverse. Well done chaps!
