We've also secured for guestlist for Sugar, so feel free to bring drinks for pre's as well. Don't forget your spoons!

The aim is to do some trad climbing, but if the weather prevents that we'll be doing winter walking and scrambling. The trip will cost £35, which must be paid on the LUSU website in advance; the link will be on the confirmation page.
Winter Skills Trip: We will be running our annual winter skills trip to the Cairngorms in Scotland during the last week of the Christmas Holidays. More details to follow!
That's it for now,
Happy climbing!
