We’re back with a bang! To celebrate our return after exams and Christmas we’re starting off strong with a SUAS Climbing Centre trip! The aim of this trip is to refresh your skills from climbing in the college wall before Christmas and experience taller roped walls and modern bouldering.

SUAS is also currently the host of Round 4 of the Irish Bouldering League! So if anybody is feeling like a challenge this will be great practice for the upcoming Irish Climbing Intervarsities next month.

All that we ask as a pre-requisite is that you've come to at least one of our Monday sessions before you come on one of these trips.

Places are limited so make sure you sign up now to secure your place!

Meet for the bus at 1pm on Wednesday 25th January in the SU Corridor

Our first hike of the year!

With wonderful views of Nephin and the Nephin Begs, Croaghmoyle offers a great opportunity for you to get out and experience what Co.Mayo has to offer.

It is a beginner friendly route, with a paved surface making it incredibly accessible for all. It is a gentle climb of 330m over 4.6km to a viewpoint of 430m, taking just over an hour to reach the summit. 

It is recommended that everyone brings their own rucksack containing the following:

· Multiple warm layers (It may be windy or a bit wet so having multiple layers to keep warm will be very helpful)

· Appropriate footwear (Paved surface so runners are fine, boots are still recommended if owned)

· Waterproof jacket and pants

· Headtorch (if you have one, not essential as plan is to be back before dark)

· Water

· Sun-cream (winter sun is more dangerous)

· Hot drink + food/snack

The bus is leaving from the front of the college (outside reception) at 2pm (only a 15 minute drive), and plan is to be back at 5pm. 

Spaces are limited so be sure to book your place on ATU SULife!

Hope to see as many of you as possible on Wednesday, Thanks!

We will be running an "Introduction to Maps" session for those eager to learn how to use this key resource that is paramount to navigation when out on the hills, and offers an opportunity for those with some knowledge to refresh what they know. We will be looking at:

• How to read a map
• Route planning
• Feature Recognition 
• Timing & Distance
• Brief Compass Work
• and more!

It will be nice and relaxed and hopefully people can start to make use of this information while out on their next hike.

Venue to be decided.

Book on GMIT SU Life so we know what numbers to expect.

Thanks!
