The Ceunant Mountaineering Club is
essentially Birmingham based, we do however include and welcome new members from all over the Midlands
and further afield.
With around 150 members from several
generations, a huge wealth of knowledge and experience from
every mountaineering background can be found within the Ceunant
MC.
Our Outdoor Meets Secretary
organises a varied program of both regular weekend meets and
longer trips around the UK, Europe and beyond! In previous
years, these have included the French/Italian/Swiss Alps, Lundy
Island, the Italian Dolomites, Corsica for the GR20 long
distance mountain walking route, the Canadian and US Rocky
Mountains, not to mention a whole host of Skiing Trips to top
Ski Resorts all over the world!
Several social events are held
during the year, organised by our Social Meets Secretary - an
Annual Dinner, Christmas Party, various slideshows, talks and
curry nights.
Many Ceunant members meet quite
regularly on Wednesday evenings. During the winter months this
is more often than not at the
Creation Climbing Wall
in Moseley. Following a good session on the wall, members go
down to the
Spotted Dog in Digbeth (Corner of Alcester St & Warwick St)
at 9.30pm. In the summer we try to get out to the crags,
however, being somewhat short of locations you might describe as
“local”, this is not always as frequently as we might like!
The Meets and Events page on our
website details our activities planned throughout the year,
including any cragging evenings during the summer.
T’yn Lon, the Ceunant home from home
in North Wales, is located in the dramatic setting of the
Llanberis Pass. T’yn Lon has grown and developed over the last
50 years from a small and basic cottage, to a world class
climbers hut with all the facilities you could ever need to
enjoy a good weekend walking and climbing in Snowdonia. This of
course also has the advantage of being less than 100yds walking
distance from the front door of the Vaynol Arms pub in Nant
Peris.
