The trips listed here are joint trips of Sydney University Bushwalkers, and Suboir United Bushwalkers, unless otherwise specified. Not all trips are listed here: many are decided on impromptu on our mailing lists. The mailing lists are also the best way to find out the latest information on walks and other events. Some recurring events are listed at the bottom of this page. New trip leaders are very welcome. If you would like to lead a trip, contact the walks secretary. |
Many walks fill up quickly! Please let the trip leader know as soon as possible that you are interested, and tell them a little about yourself - your walking experience and fitness level, what gear you will need to borrow, where you live and whether you have access to a car. Leaders have the right to refuse to take walkers if they lack the necessary fitness or experience. Important Notice: Please read our rescue information. |

Regular Events
Slide Nights: The last Wednesday of each month during
University semester is a slide night for both clubs, 7pm in the Holme building.
Most walkers gather at 6pm in the Forest Lodge Hotel (the "Flodge" - Arundel Street Glebe) for a cheap feed beforehand.
Slide nights are an ideal place to meet people, tell stories (true or not), hear other peoples' stories, look at slides and photos, and hear about various trips.
Meat raffle: Each Thursday the Sydney University Bushwalkers holds a meat raffle at the Forest Lodge Hotel, with all profits going straight into the Club coffers.
So far as meat raffles go it's actually a really good deal - twenty meat trays a week, $2 a ticket.
Things kick off at about 6.30pm, going through to about 8, after which some people head on over to the climbing gym.
Indoor Rock Climbing: Contact Dave Noble (9560 5973) to climb at the Sydney Indoor Climbing Gym at St Peters on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.
Critical Mass Bike Rides: Last Friday of every month - meet
at the fountain, Hyde Park North, 5:30 pm.
Contacts: Alex DeBono (9609 1540 or 0402501962), Dave Noble (9560
5973) or Dave Oslington (9518 0631)
Day Walks: There will usually be day walks on most weekends - many will be organized impromptu however.
There will often be trips during the week. Send an email to our mailing list if you're interested in going along.
Mountain Biking: Many members of both clubs often go mountain biking in the Blue Mountains (and elsewhere) on weekends. Send an email to our mailing list if you're interested in going along.
Canyoning: During summer, there are canyoning trips running most weekends. Send an email to our mailing list if you're interested in going along.
