Whilst based mainly in Manchester, the North West, the Peak District and Sheffield our 500 members come from across the country; many operate at the leading edge of their chosen pursuit, with others developing their passion. Our Meets take place in 3 or 4 different locations across the UK each week – often around the Peak District, but also making the most of our three mountain huts based in central Snowdonia, the southern Lakes and Glencoe. We also travel further afield with regular Alpine trips and a winter sun-rock meet firmly in the calendar.
Friendship has always been at the heart of our club and our social events cater for everyone. We very much welcome new members whether they are experienced or relative new comers to our core activities, and we are proud to be one of the launch members of the BMC #FindYourAdventure campaign. www.rucksackclub.org
