Lancaster University Hiking Club

LUHC is one of the largest outdoor student societies in the UK. We run hikes to the Lakes, Scotland Three WEEKEND TRIPS each term, usually around £40.

LUHC is one of the largest student outdoor societies in the UK with membership open to all members of Lancaster University; undergraduates, postgraduates and staff. Such a varied membership always gives the Club an interesting social mixture and a wide-ranging appeal. Everyone has a different idea of what they want from the mountains and the Club itself. There are walkers and scramblers, beginners

and the experienced - with all abilities and extremes catered for, from hardcore 'baggers' to the modest Lakeland hill-walker. Six SUNDAY TRIPS each term, just £10 (occasionally a Saturday to accommodate those with busy Sundays). Minibus to the Lake District/Yorkshire... Walks catering for different abilities... Pub... Fish 'n' Chips... Home. Typically to Scotland or Wales, either camping or bunkhouse. SOCIALS every Monday night, 8:30PM. SPECIAL SOCIALS including Bar Crawls, Dinners, Ceilidh, Ultimate Night...
