Welcome to Ben Lairig

Ben Lairig is the University of York hillwalking and mountaineering club. We run trips to the mountains of Scotland, Wales and the Lake District. There is also the occasional day trip to the Yorkshire Dales.

Trips include walking up some great mountains, doing a good bit of camping and usually sampling the local pubs!

Week 3 - ELECTIONS

Hi Everyone!!!

Hope you're all having a great week and are not too bogged down with revision

As you may have seen from Mike's email this week is ELECTIONS!!! I'll be meeting people in the DERWENT BAR on WEDNESDAY at 8pm. From here we'll take the short walk to Dan's house where we are holding the elections.

Be prepared for plenty of election punch, I'll try not to make it too bad to start with but we'll see how it turns out!! After elections are finished (and depending on how bad people are) we might then head into town to celebrate election success!!

Hope you can all make it, and be thinking about what you want to do!

Much Social Love, for the very last time :'(

Week 2 Social

Hi Everyone!!

Hope you're all having a good week and enjoying the sun (while we've got it......)

This weeks social is my last as social sec :( but as a result promises to be the best one yet. We'll be visiting all of our favourite pubs on the way (so hopefully the flooding will go away so we can pay a visit to the Kings Arms. I'll be meeting you as per usual at 8pm in the Rook and Gaskill on Wednesday.

Just a quick reminder that next week (i.e. week 3) is ELECTIONS so be thinking about whether you want to stand for a committee position and who you might want to vote for.

As for future trips don't worry there are some on the horizon (maybe Week 3??). We'll let you know more in due course.

Have a good week and hope to see you all on Wednesday

Lots of beautiful and boundless social love,

Stu xx

Week 1

Hi Everyone!!

Hope you've all had a great Easter holiday and have had a nice break!!

We start this term with a bang before we all retreat to the library for exams. I'll be meeting everyone at the Rook and Gaskill at 8pm on Wednesday before we head into town afterwards and will be sure to take in the newly opened Lendal Cellars smile (about time too!)

Just a quick heads up that our ELECTIONS for next year are taking place on WEDNESDAY WEEK 3 so be sure to keep that date free in your diaries and start thinking about whether you'd like to become a part of the committee. There's plenty of roles to be filled (captain, treasurer, secretary, trip and travel coordinator, social sec, gear rep, press publicity and merch rep, webmaster, mascot and ordinary members) and the more of you that stand the better; it is a democracy after all smile There will also be lots of free punch as well so make sure you are there!

Hope to see you all Wednesday!

Lots of Social Love, (for 3 more weeks only) :(

Week 8 Social

Hi Everyone!!

Well another great trip goes by and somehow we only have 3 weeks left this term :( This means we need to finish off the term in style!!

This weeks social will be a WALL CRAWL!!!! We'll be following the wall around the city centre and stopping off at as many pubs as we can. I'll be meeting you ALL at 8pm at the Rook and Gaskill on Wednesday. We won't be here for too long as we have a lot of pubs to visit..........

Our final trip of the term will be to the Lake District where we'll probably be taking in the heights of Wasdale Head and the surrounding mountains (especially Scarfell Pike). A trip not to be missed!!

Hope to see you all on Wednesday.

Much Social Love,

Stu xx

Week 7 Social

Hi Everyone!!!!

Hope are you are all doing well this week and are looking forward to the trip this weekend.

In celebration of the magnificance of Ben Lairig, at least over YUMC......... cheers Mike rasberry ,we'll be having a party this week!!! Well by a party I mean a cracking social with lots of celebration.......

I'll be meeting you all at 8pm in the Rook and Gaskill (N.B. not in Derwent Bar, I'm sure you know the way from campus now.....) and we'll kick off the night from here visiting a selection of our favourite pubs in the City Centre. From this 'we'll see where the night takes us' (I know it had to appear at some point....) although is likely to include the lights of Flares and Willow amongst others.

Just a reminder that sign ups for the Snowdonia trip this weekend are still open but we'll be closing them before the social so make sure you sign up!!!

Hope to see you all on Wednesday!

Much Social Love,
