MI Fairhead Meet
| WHERE: | Fair Head |
| WHEN: | 1st-3rd June |
| Cost | £5 camping fee per person per night |
MI Event Page
The bottom of the page has a report from last year, and the Mountaineering Ireland facebook event page for people going.
This year, it will also be a club trip, with QUBMCers getting club insurance if they go.
However this will not be a subsidised trip, so we won't be taking money at the wall and travel isn't being organised through the club either.
So for those that are going, email the club to inform us and to get insurance sorted. You will also have to fill in an emergency contact form if you haven't done so already this year, or your details have changed.
Gola
| WHERE: | Gola |
| WHEN: | 5th - 11th June |
| Cost | £TBC |
So once again QUB is heading off to Gola, an island of the coast of Donegal. It's perfect for winding down after the stresses of exams, and a perfect place for climbing.
I'll put up a price when one is confirmed, but those who have work now know what dates to book off.
More information on the trip can be found on the trip page

This is a great chance to meet others from clubs all around Ireland, try problems set by some great climbers and just have a laugh. You don't have to be the best or the most competitive person, there's a prize for the best spotter!

Entry to both those events is included in the entry fee which is £12. We'll be registering people at the wall tomorrow night as we need an idea of numbers! You can pay on the day but you need to register with us before hand.
For more info have a look on the irish climbing intervarsities website
There's separate categories for females, males, freshers and non-freshers so don't worry if you've never been to a competition before or are a bit nervous! Its all just a bit of fun :)
Cotswold is giving 20% discount for competitors so if you're a fresher and don't have rock shoes yet this is a good time to get some!
We're still doing sessions at the Ozone on wednesday afternoons, the Ozone is quite different to the PEC wall so if you haven't been yet I suggest you go! (You'll need to prove student status with a stamped letter from Queen's Guidance Centre)
Donegal 2011: Trip Report
After yet another successfull sunny trip to Mad Marys Connor 'The Bearded one' Gilmour has provided us with more of his literary gold.
If the below excerpt entertains you then please read the rest of his report
It is here that many people first understand that there is more to climbing than plastic nailed to wood in a gym and hopefully experience the thrill provided by the atmosphere and that feeling of "Holy-s**t-I'm-20-metres-above-the-sea-climging-to-a-vertical-lump-of-rock. SWEET!"
