Hiking Club
Get out of the city and see some of the most stunning scenery that Wales has to offer with Cardiff University’s Hiking Club.
Weekend Hikes
Escape Cardiff and see the sites of Wales! We run hikes on Saturday and Sunday during term time, mostly venturing around South Wales and up to the Brecon Beacons.
Members will be told about the week's hikes via an email every Tuesday. Sign-ups will take place from that Wednesday at 7pm, with further details on where to meet us provided on Friday at 11am. All hike meeting places will be available using public transport.
Our hikes are of varying difficulty, meaning that we try to accommodate everyone- from the mountain goats to those that are fearful of a set of stairs! Each hike's difficulty will be indicated on the sign-up page.
Residential Trips
We aim for two residential trips per academic year: one in the Easter break, and one in the summer. In the last years we have organised week-long trips to the Cairngorms, the Lake District, and Snowdonia. For more information on these, please contact our Expeditions Officer.
Socials
In previous years, we have organised socials to Cardiff’s best venues, including ice-cream parlours, trampoline parks and cinemas. We accommodate for all and pride ourselves on having both alcoholic and non-alcoholic socials that everyone can enjoy.
Erasmus Membership
If you are leaving Cardiff after a single term, don’t worry about having to pay for the whole year! Our club allows you to purchase a membership for just the term you’re studying at £9. This is also available to non-Erasmus students purchasing membership for the second half of the year.
Associate membership
If you are a Cardiff University staff member, not from the uni, or post-doctoral, you can join with the same club membership fee, but must apply to the AU as an associate member.
