Leeds Mountain Bikers
Welcome to Leeds Mountain Bikers (LMB). We meet regularly for adventurous and challenging off-road rides and our aim is to provide a friendly and supportive atmosphere in which to enjoy our sport, with all the benefits of riding in a social group.   We welcome new members, but please understand that while many of our riders have a lot of experience, we are amateurs and do this for the love of our sport. We do not hold any formal qualifications. We are **not** instructors, mentors nor technical experts.   We will always help and support each other when needed, and will never leave a group member behind, but all riders must accept that mountain biking is a dangerous sport, and that individual riders are responsible for their own safety.   LMB, its organisers, hosts and leaders will not be held liable for any injury or loss incurred.   Rides will each have one or more designated hosts, who will be familiar with the route. If you are new to the group you will be asked to fill in a 'Rider Information' form with your personal details, and also to sign our 'Participation Statement' and disclaimer. We also suggest that you complete a personal medical information form to carry with you on the ride. (You can download, print and sign these prior to attendance from... [here](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1-0ZNOZM8vBJ9au3EE7yJnC2_S4WEiUdL?usp=sharing) ).   We charge a subscription fee of £1 per ride or £10 per calendar year (Payable each January), which allows us to cover our subscription to Meetup.com. This is payable in cash to the ride leader. \*Note that as of January 2023, we will no longer be affiliating to British Cycling, so please do not use their payment system.   Rides have a maximum attendance of 15 riders, but if full please get yourself on the waiting list. Spaces usually appear nearer the ride. If you subsequently are unable to attend, please let us know early, so somebody else can take your place.   **PARTICIPATION STATEMENT & ACCEPTANCE OF RISK**   **As a condition of riding with Leeds Mountain Bikers, all persons must be aware of and accept the following:-** * **MOUNTAIN BIKING IS A DANGEROUS ACTIVITY WHICH CARRIES A RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY** * **RIDE ORGANISERS DO NOT NECESSARILY HOLD ANY MOUNTAIN BIKING QUALIFICATIONS NOR ARE THEY INSTRUCTORS, MENTORS OR TECHNICAL EXPERTS** * **ALL RIDERS ARE INDIVIDUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN ACTIONS AND SAFETY** * **RIDERS WILL AT ALL TIMES CONSIDER THE SAFETY OF OTHER PERSONS AND  ACT  ACCORDINGLY TO AVOID DANGER TO OTHER RIDERS AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC** * **SELF RELIANCE AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY ARE CENTRAL TO THE WAY LMB OPERATES** Risks include but are not limited to the following:- * We actively seek to ride over terrain which will in places be technically difficult, and where a fall could result in injury.

Yorkshire Climbers

Leeds, 45

Yorkshire Climbers
We are a group based in West Yorkshire, for people who want to climb or have days out in the hills and mountains. The group has being going for 12yrs (as of Jan 22). We are a very busy, friendly group with a small core of enthusiastic, committed and experienced climbers. When the weather allows meet weekly to climb outdoors (mainly 'Trad' but some 'sport') alongside regular bouldering meets, during the summer months and as often as the weather allows during the winter. We also meet at least weekly indoors at climbing walls (mainly Big Depot on Thursdays, further afield Harrogate, Sheffield etc on Sundays). During the summer months we have several residential meets in the Lakes and Snowdonia, staying in YHAs, bunkbarns or camping, and now have a 'Winter Escape' trip to Spain. We are also giving some thought to walks, social events and more European climbing destinations. **We need to make it clear that, whilst some of us have years of experience, we are not instructors or professionally qualified to teach climbing and we are not responsible for teaching new climbers to belay etc.** **If you are new to climbing:** please join us when you have completed the wall's induction programmes: for boulderers this is generally basic instruction, for lead climbing you will need to have completed a relevant course in top rope belaying and lead belaying **Climbers:** those who are already competent and can sign themselves in can come along to any event. **Membership:** £10 for the year to cover the meetup costs. We ask you to pay once you start climbing with us on a regular basis. We have a number of spare harnesses,pairs of shoes, helmets and belay devices which we can lend out (please let us know before the meeting whether you need to borrow anything. Alternatively, equipment can be hired at climbing walls. Additionally, before joining us you should read the BMC participation statement which states: "The BMC recognize that climbing and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions and involvement." If you do not accept full responsibility for for your own actions and involvement in any outdoor activities please do not join this group, Yorkshire Climbers cannot accept responsibility for the actions of its members and advises everyone to get adequate insurance for the activities they want to take part in, Insurance details can be found on the BMC site. So, if you think this is for you, come along and experience the fun of climbing!!!
