Hi, I’m Arthur.  I’m a trail-runner, walker and landscape photographer.  I’ve loved every UMWC walk so far, and hope you will too!  As your secretary, I will be in charge of the club’s social media and communications, as well as helping to organise walks and events.  You can find me at rtv24vvy@bangor.ac.uk.  

Secretaries are the ones keeping the club informed about the what, where and how… And very occasionally The Who.

Hello, I’m Lauren. I only got into climbing mountains at university, but since then I have summited many mountains in various ways, whether that be hiking, scrambling or climbing. As Captain I will ensure all the club walks and events run smoothly!  Feel free to email me at lrl23fsn@bangor.ac.uk or find me at any of our socials

 Captains are the people who make sure stuff happens.

Hello, I'm Jake and I am obsessed with rural adventures, from trudging through peat bogs to scurrying up Welsh Rhyolite. My passion for the outdoors stems from my background in biology and geology; understanding how our great outdoors ticks really fascinates me. I joined UMWC in 2024 to continue this interest, and as your Vice Captain, I hope that you, too, can gain a similar appreciation for the natural world. I will decide the location of each weekly walk, and I would like to introduce a few lesser-known walks to show people some of the unseen gems of Eryri. Im open to all walk related enquiries to be sent to my email at : jkb24dyz@bangor.ac.uk

Vice captains are the coordinators of the committee, with half of their job being to make sure the Captain doesn’t cry.

Hi, I'm Connall.  I'm a frequent hiker from West Yorkshire. I'm outside as much as possible whenever I'm not needing to study. I've been going outside as long as I can remember and I’ve also been travelling to a number of places and countries from the lake district, to Slovenia and North Macedonia. 

Treasures are the money people who ensure that the club can be kept up and running. And will hunt you down if you don’t pay coach money.

Course: 3rd year Zoology with Primatology

Favourite mountain: Cadair Idris

Although I’ve done a fair amount of hiking as a child I didn't join UMWC until this January. I have really enjoyed exploring North Wales and love the beautiful views. I am terrible at navigation but keep spirits up by singing my way down the mountains. I was introduced to the club through climbing friends and absolutely love the sense of community. I was immediately welcomed in and would love to give others the same experience as social sec this year.

 Social secs make the non walkey stuff happen. Hit the social sec up if you want a castle discount code.

Hi, I’m Jake. I’m a keen outdoorsy person and have spent most of my life working or messing around in the outdoors. I'm a keen hillwalker and mountaineer and spend most of my free time on or hanging off the mountains. As your gear and safety officer I'm really excited to help more people experience Eryri safely and help members develop new skills and in such an incredible place.  Alongside this, I am also in charge of all the club’s equipment and training, so if you've got any questions on kit or training then please get in touch at jkt24zty@bangor.ac.uk or come and say hi at our socials or walks.

Jake knows a thing or two about gear and safety and loves to share knowledge so he is the person to ask if you want to know about equipment, maps and training for the club .

Hi, my name is Oliver. I love walking, scrambling and being in the outdoors, as well as cycling. I’ve been going on walks in the outdoors since I was very little and I still love exploring the outdoors and finding new places off the beaten path. As your inclusivity and wellbeing officer, I will be in charge of ensuring all club activities are as accessible and open as possible. I’m also responsible for making sure everyone feels safe and welcome at club activities. Feel free to email me at lvw23svn@bangor.ac.uk or find me at any of our socials

Our wellbeing and inclusivity officer is the primary contact for any inclusivity and diversity matters. That means there the one to talk to about any issues or accessibility questions.
