Annual Dinner Weekend 2012 - Part Two

Sunday 27th May - West Sands, St. Andrews 

Blue skies and sunshine - we really couldn't have asked for better barbecue weather! Armed to the teeth with suncream and burgers, we headed over to West Sands where we managed to find a relatively secluded stretch of beach to occupy for the day. A few people headed straight for the sea while Charlie, Roo and Euan got the barbecues set up. We probably could have fed the whole of St. Andrews with the mountain of food we had brought!

Annual Dinner Weekend 2012 - Part One

Saturday 26th May - Glen Clova 

DURC's Annual Dinner Weekend is an important fixture on the calendar: not only is it the last official club meet before the summer break, it also marks the occasion when the outgoing committee hands over to the new members. 

Last year the Annual Dinner Weekend saw the club take a camping trip to Arran, and this year it was decided to stay closer to home so that more people could attend the various events.

To that end the committee organised a day trip on the Saturday to Glen Clova, a meal in the evening in Dundee, then a beach day on Sunday at West Sands, St. Andrews.

Beautiful weather in Glen Clova

Welcome to The Meets Book

Welcome to The Meets Book, the blog of the Dundee University Rucksack Club!

DURC, as it's often known, was founded in 1923 and is one of the oldest outdoors clubs in the country. It's also one of the largest and the most active, with a trip every week during term time along with numerous social and other events during the course of the year. DURC is an inclusive club - you don't need to be a student to join - and we offer a wide range of activities from hillwalking and Munro-bagging to climbing, scrambling and mountaineering.
