'Ello Everybody!
So Week 3 is now upon us and with that brings more trips and activities to keep you all entertained. But before all that, I want to just give a reminder to everyone, if you have not yet collected your Membership Card can you please contact myself at president@ulopc.com so I can get it organised for you.
Now on to the good stuff :-)
MOUNT BRANDON TRIP THIS WEEKEND
So next Sunday we are going to be going on our second Hillwalking trip of the semester to Mount Brandon. Mount Brandon stands 952 metres (3123 feet) above sea level on the beautiful Dingle Penisula in Co. Kerry. Unlike our first trip, where we had a handy path to follow we will be bringing you onto real Irish rugged terrain and off the beaten track, so you'll get a good feel for what this country really has to offer. That said, it also means you need BOOTS! You can get boots in TkMaxx, River Deep Mountain High, Radar Stores and sometimes Lidl and Aldi. If you have any questions about the trip or the stuff required please send an email to trips@ulopc.com
The sign up sheet will be posted outside the Climbing Wall in the PESS building at 6pm tomorrow, Wednesday the 23rd. So just come down their any time from then and add your name to the list :-)
CAVING
Last weeks trip was full and got great reviews and once again we are full this week. If you want to get involved an go caving send an email to caving@ulopc.com if you have not done so already. Cillian will get you onto a trip as soon as possible then, it's a first come first served basis guys so really get your emails sent in.
In other Caving news the 25th Speleological Union of Ireland / Irish Cave Rescue Organisation Caving Symposium will be held on the October 24th and 25th 2009. Location is Hylands Burren Hotel, Ballyvaughan Co Clare.This is a great event where you get to meet loads of cavers from around the country, swap stories have fun and go caving too.

ORIENTEERING
Our orienteering activities are going to be kick started this Friday and will be a nice run around campus, to see if you can all find your way around yet ;-) It is going to be a nice and easy session which is mainly so people who are interested can get to know each other and get a feel for what they will actually be doing. Meeting at 12pm in the Cafeteria in the PESS building (same building as the climbing wall)
