Welcome!!
Hello and welcome to the club that heads out into the beautiful Peak District every weekend for a spot of walking. Our walks vary in length and difficulty- there's something for everyone. From challenging hikes through the barren moorlands of Kinder Scout and Bleaklow to strolls through the picturesque Hope Valley and everything in between. We also sometimes travel further afield and have recently been on trips to Scotland, the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.
Every Thursday we meet up in different pubs across Sheffield- there's no better way to meet lots of new people and explore the city. We also have other socials such as bowling, Cake and Ale and ROAR socials, as well as more civilised events such as end of term meals!
There is no cut off date for joining- come along whenever you like and we'll always be really happy to see you!

Notices and News
SUWC have handed over a cheque for £76 to the Edale Mountain Rescue Team. A small number of the club went out to their base in Hope where we were given a small talk and a guided tour. The Edale Mountain Rescue Team is run entirely by volunteers. Unlike many other mountain rescue teams the majority of their call outs are for trauma based cases (such as falling off a cliff) as opposed to search and rescue. Like any other emergency service they aim to get to the casualty (or at least be well on their way to their location) within 15 minutes of the call out. We hope this is only the beginning of our association and the 2012/13 committee are already planning a number of events for next year in order to raise money. If you have any suggestions or want any more information please email the club (suwc@sheffield.ac.uk) or our Safety Officer Victoria Lund (vlund1@gmail.com).
Our Sponsor - Student Accommodation Sheffield
It is getting to that time of year again when you will begin to think about accommodation for next year, and maybe this is the first time you will not be living in halls. If this is you and you are looking for a reliable company with many houses to choose from, in all the student hotspots, then look no further than Student Accommodation Sheffield! This Landlord is highly recommended and I can testify that you would have no regrets if you decided to go with one of their properties. Also if you mention that you heard about them through SUWC, we will get a small referral fee which will go back into making your club even better! :)
