Our Weekend Trips
Our trips are the highlight of our events calendar! We dedicate one weekend of Terms 1 and 2 to getting our members out to Wales for a couple of days of mountain climbing, hiking, and sheep befriending - although we make no guarantees about that last one!
Snowdonia
We like to throw our new members in at the deep end with this quest through mist, snow and sometimes boot-removing bog to reach the top of Snowdon, Wales' tallest mountain! And, in previous years, we've been known to pop off on a cheeky castle trip as well...
Brecon Beacons
Our participant training weekend also doubles up as our second getaway of the year! Sometimes sunny, sometimes rainy and always with a mountain or two, this trip makes it (sometimes literally...) truly impossible to leave Wales!
Day Trips
Whether it's walking in the Malvern Hills or, more recently, navigating the Warwickshire countryside between here and Solihull, we've always been partial to a day trip! What better way to get to out, see the sights, and get campus out your lungs?
We're constantly looking for new day trips, so who knows where we'll be off to next! We only hope that you'll join us there!

However, we're working as hard as we can to give you the best DofE experience possible within those restrictions! Help with the award will still be just as thorough, and we hope to run regular online events and maybe some socially distanced outdoor activities, depending on the guidance.**
