a friendly hiking and mountaineering club based in London
OUR ACTIVITIES
Weekend trips
Ibex weekend trips go to the mountains and the coast. Our favourite locations include the Lake District, Snowdonia, Yorkshire, Dartmoor, Brecon Beacons and the Peak District. We usually stay in bunkhouses, mountain huts and hostels to keep costs down.
Ibex usually organises a day walk every month. Walks start from a railway station, a short journey from London. They're a good way to get to know Ibex members and to build your fitness before coming on an Ibex weekend for the first time.
We meet on the second Wednesday evening of each month in central London. There is usually a slideshow or workshop. If you're thinking of joining Ibex it's a good opportunity to meet members and to find out more about the club.
Ibex organises week trips to Scotland staying in self-catering cottages, so it's more deluxe than our weekends - a great way to get to the remote hills. Trips to the Alps or other European mountains are often organised too.
Ibex has several members who enjoy climbing. Informal socials are held at a variety of London climbing walls, where everyone climbs at their own risk. You need to be competent to climb unsupervised.
Ibex occasionally organises other events throughout the year. For example, the annual photo competition where the winning photos are used to create an Ibex calendar.
Ibex is a friendly club which welcomes hill walkers and mountaineers of all ages, social backgrounds and experience. Our affordable walking weekends away are a great way to explore the mountains and hills of England and Wales.
