Club competition - Winners Announced!
Congratulations to the Bristol University Mountaineering Club who have picked up £1000 in kit from Cotswold + 5 nights stay and 1 day training at Plas-y-Brenin National Mountain Centre. The club plans to tackle a multi-day traverse of the Swanage sea cliffs and were judged by Plas-y-Brenin and Cotswold experts to be the club with the most thourough and rewarding plan. It was a close call though so thanks to all the other clubs for entering - we will be sure to let you know if we run a competition like this again.
We plan to follow the winners on their journey so we will post up more information as we get it!
We’ve left the details about the competition up on the Club Competition page to remind everyone of the details…and the terms and conditions can be read here.
