The Lanchester mountaineering club (or Lanch) was formed in 1996 by former students of Coventry University. Many Lanch members belonged to Coventry University Mountaineering Society (CUMS) whilst at university and wanted to continue to meet up regularly to take part in outdoor activities.
The Club is involved in every aspect of mountain sports including rock climbing, hill walking, ice climbing, winter mountaineering and ski mountaineering. The Lanch is now far more than a mountain sports club. Many members are also involved in other activities such as canoeing, surfing, kite buggying, skiing, caving, and even some Arctic Exploration.
Our club website serves as an initial point of contact for potential club members, providing committee contact details, a full meets list and links to other useful sites.
Please see our Facebook Group for more info.
