Trips are organised to Mulanje and other areas by the Club for MCM members and friends.

Planned trips are advertised here on the MCM web site, and for members in the club’s bi-monthly newsletter and through email reminders.

If you want to join a trip, please contact the leader at least a week in advance to ensure that adequate planning can take place. Depending on the number of participants, meals and transport could be shared.

These organised outings are a great way for members to build their confidence on new routes, to visit different places, and to make new friends.

These are usually led by committee members, but all experienced members are encouraged to be leaders, so please let a committee member know if you are planning a trip and would welcome some company.
