Welcome to Wolverhampton Mountaineering Club Website
A large WMC team on the Ailefroide Oriental in the Ecrin, France August 2001

Wolverhampton Mountaineering Club was formed over 50 years ago. It is a very active and friendly club of around 100 members. We enjoy walking, climbing and skiing in the UK and abroad, including the Alps and Himalayas. There are also possibilities for caving through the Club's close association with the Wolverhampton Caving Group.

Why not just come along to a Tuesday meeting and see if you like us! You're sure to be made welcome.

Tuesday Nights - Update

Fri, 24/04/2009 - 18:44 — RichardAW

For the last two weeks we have been meeting at the Clarendon in Chapel Ash which is a pleasant enough pub as a stop-gap, but not really suitable in the long term.

We've now found a pub which might be suitable. It's "the Wheatsheaf" , in the town centre, about 5 mins walk from the New Inn, and just in front of the Express & Star offices. The attached map shows its location. The beer is good, we can have sole use of a room every Tuesday, and Val, the landlady/barmaid, seems very friendly.

Car parking is available in nearby Tower St. and Castle St. in pay and display spaces, which are free in the evenings.

The proposal is to use this pub on a trial basis for the next few weeks (say 3 or 4), and see how we get on.

As you go in the door from the main road, a short corridor leads past the 2 bar entrances on the right, and "our" room is on the left. Val will expect us from 9.30 onwards, so if you arrive early and our room is locked, just introduce yourself to Val, and she'll open it. It'll be obvious who she is!

See you at the Wheatsheaf (map) next Tuesday

BMC Tremadog Festival

Thu, 02/04/2009 - 17:18 — RichardAW

This year's BMC Tremadog Festival will be held over the weekend of the 17th- 19th April, based at Eric's.

The aim of the weekend is to continue the restoration of Bwlch y Moch. All you have to do is to turn up from 9.30am Saturday with secateurs and/or a pruning saw, climb a route and clean it up. The more routes that receive this treatment the better for everyone,
Apart from trowels, hand forks and gardening gloves, a very useful tool is a "patio knife" for digging out cracks. This can be bought for under a fiver from most garden stores.
