The Alpine Club, the world’s first mountaineering club, was founded in 1857. For over 150 years, members have been at the leading edge of worldwide mountaineering development and exploration.
With membership, experienced and aspiring alpinists benefit from a varied meets programme, regional lectures with notable guest speakers, reduced rates at many alpine huts, opportunity to apply for grants to support expeditions, significant discounts at many UK retailers, extensive networking contacts, access to the AC Library and maps - and more!
Becoming a MemberChoose hot sunny weather; choose low spring tides in the middle of the day; choose beautiful red and purple sandstone slabs rising out of an azure sea; choose multi-pitch coarse-grain gabbro; choose wild scenery, coastal paths, cream teas, archaeology, and the smallest cathedral; choose Pembroke, or more specifically choose Porthclais Campsite, St David's Head, over the weekend of June 15-17.
No need to restrict yourself to the weekend; the organizers will be there from at least Thursday night (14th) till Monday night (18th), and will bring a big family tent to use as a communal eating and meeting area. Pembroke North offers a huge selection of quality climbs in all grades, and remember that it is a little less than one hour's drive to the car parks of St Govans and Stack Rocks above the more populated South Pembroke white stuff.
