About Us

Clitheroe Mountaineering Club was formed in 1978 when a group of people were brought together by a common interest in mountain walking and rock climbing. The aim of the club is to encourage the enjoyment of mountain activities, providing help and guidance to members when requested. 

Since the formation of the club, members of all ages have taken part in a wide variety of activities, both indoors and outdoors, at differing levels of specialisation and ability.

The club holds regular outdoor meets in the Lakes, Wales and Scotland, on a day or weekend basis. Mountaineering huts are booked for five or six weekends each year.

Regular indoor meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month at Clitheroe Cricket Club, Chatburn Road, Clitheroe for eleven months of the year. Illustrated lectures include those given by guest speakers who are specialists in various aspects of mountaineering or who have visited different parts of the world in pursuit of their interests.

Bulletins and newsletters recording the activities of the members are published during the year. Articles are always welcome and should be given to the Editor.
