The Wessex Mountaineering Club welcomes all climbers, mountaineers and hill-walkers. We have about 250 members, mostly from the Dorset, Hampshire, and Wiltshire area. The club caters for all levels of ability, from beginners to experienced Alpinists.

It is a very active club with an extensive programme of meets, including:

• Over 20 weekend meets a year, in areas such as North Wales, the Lake District, Cornwall, the Peak District, and Pembroke;
• Local rock climbing and walking meets;
• Weekly climbing wall meets;
• Annual meets in Scotland and the Alps.

The club has its own hut in North Wales, which is always available for use by club members. A newsletter is published every two months with full details of all club activities.

The club is affiliated to the British Mountaineering Council. BMC benefits include third-party insurance, a free magazine, and access to the huts of other affiliated clubs.
