Meets

WBMC runs regular coach meets to get mountaineers to the mountains. Our usual destinations are in Snowdonia and the Lake District.

The coach runs on the second Sunday of each month. We leave West Bromwich at seven o’clock in the morning (also picking-up at Penkridge for Lake District meets and M5 Junction 2 for North Wales), giving a full day in the hills before we head back for home. The coach returns to West Brom by about 9:30pm.

What do you do when the coach arrives at its destination? That bit’s up to you. We don’t arrange guided walks for everyone to follow. Instead, you are free to walk, run or climb wherever you like. Of course, you are welcome to make friends on the coach and to share their day in the hills. All we ask is that you jot down your plans in the route book

Coach fares are a snip at £14.00 for members/provisional members, £16.00 for non-members/guests, £7.00 for students in full time education and under sixteens (accompanied by an adult).If you would like to know how to book your place on the coach, or if you have any further questions about the coach meets, please contact us using the link to the left.
