On the 27nd to the 28th of Janurary we will be making the annual visit to Aviemore. Where better to kick start 2012?! We will be staying in a bunkhouse for this trip which is fitted with an open fire, bunk-beds, a kitchen and even a sauna!! The Cairngorms are the mountains we have come to explore and they feature the highest, coldest and snowiest plateaux in the British Isles and are home to five of the six highest mountains in Scotland. This is one of the best trips of the year and gives an excellent chance for fellwalkers to practice their winter skills on snow.  |
The social scene unfortunatley has to be postponed due to exams :( . However, the annual NUFWS Ball is approaching!!! The theme is formal and there will be a ceilidh (scottish dancing or summat), loads of food (cooked by the committee :S ) and generally a chance to let your hair down after the exams. More info coming soon!! Don’t forget. We meet every Wednesday at 7:30 at the legendary Strawberry pub for some ale appreciation and general banter……and the occasional route planning sesh.  Don’t go yet!!
Checkout the next page for the latest news on what ground-breaking NUFWS pioneers have been getting up to. |

The first day trip of 2012 is on the 4th of February and is out to the beautiful mountains of Patterdale in the Lake District. The village is the start point for a number of popular hill-walks, most notably the Striding Edge path up to Helvellyn which is the third highest peak in England! A good chnce for a catch up and some ale appreciation at a suitable Cumbrian pub. Get down to the Fellwalking table and sign up!
