To join the club you must first be a member of the AU (Athletics Union), which you can easily join online here and pick up your card from the fair (there will also probably be computers there if you're willing to queue!). With your AU card you can join us at Fresher's or if you miss it you can come to our regular sign ups, every wednesday and friday 12.30-1.30pm in JC's quiet side, and join then.
We are an extremely active club with walks every Sunday and socials every week. We do a range of walks such as gentle strolls along the beautiful Gower, hiking along ridges, and walking along reservoirs and waterfalls. And being students of course we end each walk at a pub, allowing time for a drink, chat and a well deserved break! Whatever the walk or the weather we always have fun.
Hiking is a brilliant way to get some exercise, meet new people, and relax while visiting some of the great sites around the country. Check out the Walks Calender to see the walks planned for this year. If you need further convincing have a look at our Gallery with thousands of photos from previous walks and social events. If you have one you'll certainly want to bring your camera along to the walks. We hope to see you there!
Thanks to everyone who took part or sponsored Hikers for the Sponsored Walk back in April. We raised a total of £522 for the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team who do a great job in South Wales rescuing anything from sheep to walkers and are on call every day of the year.
If anyone has suggestions for a charity for this coming year's walk (provisionally on the 19th April 2009) please get in touch.
The Club has a Facebook Group which any budding Swansea Hiker can join! See you there! Click here to link to the page.
