Meets are what the club is all about. They're run by members, for members. The club thrives by having members take an active interest in the meets that are run. We typically agree the next year's meets - where we're going and who's organising which meet - at our AGM in October. The Frequently Asked Questions page offers advice on what to expect on a meet.
Depending on the program or application you're using, you may need to choose the "subscribe" or "add by URL" option. Contact the Webmaster for help.

For those of us experiencing FOMO from the week in Llanberis trip, you will have the option to join the holidaying Rockhoppers on the tail end of their week (but at a campsite, not in their hut).
We are staying at the Ty Isaf campsite in Nant Peris (opposite the Vaynol Arms). £10 pppn cash only.
An opportunity to scratch that sport climbing itch. For walkers, the circumnavigation of Portland is a great day walk, alternatively the coast path towards Swanage or Lyme Regis. We are staying at our usual site, Martleaves Farm in Weymouth. It is a 3km walk from Weymouth station to the campsite, or there is a regular bus service.
MoreWe return to South Pem. From the challenging limestone cliffs at Saddle Head to the iconic sea stacks of St. Govans, South Pembrokeshire has a route for every level of bravery or climbing madness.
For those who prefer their feet firmly on the ground, the coastal walks provide breathtaking views and a chance to spot local wildlife, without the risk of unplanned swimming.
Note: the showers are "traditional".
MoreOur last coastline meander before returning inland for the autumn, Hartland Point offers a spectacular blend of coastal scenery and challenging terrain that will delight both walkers and climbers alike.
MoreWalking and biking trails in an area of natural beauty. Also close to the Dales and Pendle Hill, associated with the famous 'Pendle Witches'. No doubt Pendle Witches Brew will be available in local pubs. We are staying at Dale House barn, between Slaidburn and Settle.
MoreWhere is the president taking you this year?
We'll keep it a secret for just a little while longer, but expect it to feature beaches, lakes and big mountains within a 30-minute drive, and a beautiful ruined abbey within 15. (A penguin award goes to whomever guesses it just from that).
Join us for the awarding of Rockhopper of the Year, commiseration prizes for all of the runner-ups and a glance at the much-loved but a little bit creepy Penny the Penguin.
BYOB! (But we'll arrange food, don't worry.)

MoreHigh above the village of Dolgarrog in the Conwy valley nestles the remote Rugby Mountaineering Club hut. The hut is basic but snug, and catering is usually on a communal basis. It gives superb access to all the hills in the Carneddau. The last two miles are a walk in along a track from the car park There is also a camping option.

MoreWe are staying at the Exmoor Centre,in quite a remote location in the Hoaroak valley near Lynmouth and Lynton. I am told the old diesel generator is no more, replaced by solar panels. There is an axe and a good supply of logs for the woodburner. Will the toilet freeze over again? At least we are situated in woods.
