Just got back from Wales - we had an enjoyable and energetic trip! Some running around the mountains kept us all fit! If you went on the trip and took a camera (as most of you did) could you email me your pictures 00044058@brookes.ac.uk or bring them on a CD to the meeting on Thursday.

 

Trip 2 - Lake district . Week 6 (28 th -31 st May).

We are taking initial deposits of £30 this week. We have had lots of interest for the trip. If you could email me 00044058@brookes.ac.uk with your names we will get your signed up. It's a first come - first served basis. The final cost of the trip may be more than £30 as we might go Alton towers but as yet we are still undecided as this will increase the cost of the trip by about £20. Depending on what people want to do - we could run it as a day trip caz I really wanna go!!

Trip 1-----we are going back to Wales for the week 3 (8th and 9th of May) trip.  We have lots of ideas for things to do, but if there are any specific areas in Wales or peaks that you want to climb let us know.  Im a big fan of the glyders area- for more info have a look here
http://www.mountains-snowandrock.org.uk/Wales/glyders.php

There are some pretty cool things up there including the cantilever, the jagged summit of Glyder Fach and also the Adam and Eve stones. According to one website - 'The summit is marked with two big stones, which are called Adam and Eve. According to tradition, he who jumps from one stone to the other is proclaimed Freeman of Tryfan. If you see the two stones, one can hardly believe that anybody is so foolish to make the jump: if you miss, you'll have a proper chance of taking a fast route down Tryfan...' Some pictures of the region can be seen here.

Trip 2---------Return to the Lakes!!  This is week 6 (28th-31st May). This will be on the bank holiday weekend and we will return on the Monday evening. We are hoping to stay in a very nice camping barn in the area and do a couple of great walking including Helvellyn.

The website below has some great pictures of the area in the winter and summer time.  http://www.nigelspencer.co.uk/web-pages/uk-mountain-pages/england-pages/england-lakes-helvellyn.htm On the Monday we will be hoping to round the year off with a day trip to Alton towers.. bring it on!!!  We are unsure of the cost of the trip at present as we are negotiating a group ticket discount, but it is likely that it will be an extra £17 for admission into the park.  Check out

Laserquest - 2nd march, email Dan 00044058@brookes.ac.uk


 

08-feb-04

Hi everyone - sorry for the lack of updates, having a v busy term!

Adric has uploaded the latest trip report and below is a small snippet of whats to come.

'The rain was constant, the wind was strong and the path up the mountain was now more like a river, than a path. We all approached this challenge with great determination to beat the weather and conquer the mountain, we even had a bit of comedy provided by the bag fairy (Rupie), who had taken to wearing bin bags as he had no waterproof trousers.'

Find the rest of it here

Ok we are going to start cranking up the social calender soon, with laserquest on 18th of feb, sound ok with everyone?

Take it easy

Dan

Mashed@pleasuredome

Hope you all had a good w/end. Good to see lots of you at Pdome at the weekend. I cant remember much about it, but apparently we had a great night.. :)

1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila, floor....

wicked.

For you guys out there that also are believed to have alcohol dependency we have got the pub-crawl on next Friday, which could turn out to be vvvvery messy. I was thinking that we could go to the bridge or Po Na Nas after, which is pretty cool. I liked Pdome, so actually if anyone fancies going back there, im up for it. If we wanna go out in town, guys chuck on a shirt and leather shoes. We will have a chat about it on Thursday.

Lo everyone,

just a quick update-We had a great lake district trip.

Here is a link to the trip report, and a quick extract….

“We sat at the top of the second peak, and took in the amazing view. Ullswater Lake below us, with Helvellyn appearing in the distance. Sitting on the summit eating our lunch, we decided that we could get a few hours extra at the pub in, if we set of sooner rather than later… that’s just what we did.
After taking a few group pictures we set off down the mountain. Phil proceeded to tell us about his time in the German paramedic services, including one particular story in which an LSD user believer himself to have become a carton or orange juice. Not letting Phil drive him to hospital, as he feared that Phil would drink him… “

Click here to read to the full story.

Just want to say a big thanks to everyone who came, and to Al and Phil for driving. Also want to mention that we are going to Pleasuredome on Halloween (Friday 31st October) for more info check here. Pubcrawl is also Friday 7th of November.

Take it easy

Dan

Website thingy
Thanks for your nice comments, have redone the intro bit. Will keep it up to date with news and type stuff. Also v useful to refer to for kit lists and diary of trips etc...

Meeting next thursday at 8pm.

Good to meet new people that turned up this week. We went on to feedback after, £1 a pint carling... cant be bad.

Laserquest
What day is best for you guys? Student night is tuesdays which is cheap, but if we can get twenty we can get the place to ourselves, so maybe a thursday night??

Pub crawl
I have decided first one will take place in oxford town centre, so you new people can get to check out the best bars, we will roll onto a club later, i will ring a few up and see if we can get guest list.

England are playing South Africa today at rugby- COME ON ENGLAND!!!!!! - update we kicked their asses

Dan :)


15-Oct-2003
Hi there boys and girls, your loving VP here. Just to let you know that the website, but i think you have probably gathered already by reading this.

What news type stuff have i got for you... Hmm ok

Laserquest
A group of us went out for a few swift beers and played some laserquest last night, ive got a banging headache - from the beer tho, not the laserquest. We played a group of Oxford uni students, and unfortunately they whooped us. We just need some practice guys. We had a really great time, so i think that this will become more of a regular event. Was pretty damn cheap, only about £4 of 2 games..

Pubcrawl
This is planned for week 6,November 8-9th. Its going to be an all dayer... Should be faaaaaaaantastic. We may well end up at a club - parkend of the bridge or something. We will post mobile number on the email we send out, so if you want to meet us during the day.

Thursday meeting 8 at sports bar
A s per usual, get the beers in and meet loads of friendly people. If you haven't been before, and you are a bit worried about turning up and not knowing who we are, just email us obfellwalkers@yahoo.co.uk - we could arrange to wear like pink carnations or something...i am joking.

Oh yeah, almost forgot- been suggested we go on to feedback at Morals after- they have a club type scenario going on there, so would be worth checking it out. We went there before, and it was £1 a pint.

Week 4 trip Lake district
(24th - 26th October)

Just a reminder that we will be taking money for the trip this week at the meeting. Cost is £30, plus £5 if you haven't joined yet. More info over here.

Take it easy

Dan
