Covid-19 Coronavirus
In response to recent advice from government and advice from the BMC today due to the Coronavirus pandemic the committee have decided to cancel all meets in March & April 2020 to avoid contributing to the spread of the virus.
We will of course constantly keep the situation under review and will issue an update towards the end of April 2020.

This years annual overseas trip will take us to Switzerland and the beautiful town of Grindlewald
We are flying out from Manchester airport on Saturday 29th August to Geneva and returning on 5th September. You will need to book your own flights. Currently 6 of us are booked on the EasyJet flight Departing at 12.25 and returning at 10.35 hours.
We will be staying at the Grindelwald Youth Hostel on a Bed and Breakfast Basis
The cost of which is £262 per person but subject to how many we get booked on the trip we may be able to get that price down.
In the area we are staying is the Iconic Mountain The Eiger. There is also the option of lots of sports climbing and also lots of Via Ferrata routes.
There will be a cost per person for car hire but that will be sorted once we know how many are coming and how many vehicles we need.
As ever the club has lots of climbing equipment so there is no need to go out and buy it you can borrow it at no cost.
If you are interested in this trip please let me know ASAP so I can get the accommodation booked. Also, don’t delay getting your flights booked as the price can go up.
The YMC recognises that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.
