OUR ACTIVITIES

Weekend trips

Ibex weekend trips go to the mountains, hills and the coast. Our favourite locations include the Lake District, Snowdonia, Yorkshire, Dartmoor, Brecon Beacons and the Peak District. We usually stay in bunkhouses and hostels to keep costs down.

Day walks

Ibex organises a day walk every month. Walks start from a railway station, a short journey from London. They're a good way to get to know Ibex members and to build your fitness before coming on an Ibex weekend for the first time.

Monthly club night

We meet on the second Wednesday evening of each month in central London. There is usually a slideshow or workshop, or in the summer a short walk starting and finishing at a pub. If you're thinking of joining Ibex it's a good opportunity to meet members and to find out more about the club.

Week trips

Ibex organises week trips to Scotland staying in self-catering cottages, so it's more deluxe than our weekends - a great way to get to the remote hills. Trips to the Alps or other European mountains are often organised too.

Other events

Ibex occasionally organises other events throughout the year. For example, the AGM and the annual photo competition where the winning photos are used to create an Ibex calendar.
