What is OXO Weekend?

OXO Weekend is the largest trip of the year, and is designed for people new to the club to get an idea of what MUMC does, make some friends and have fun! We will be heading to the Cathedral Ranges to do some rock climbing, hiking, and social activities. Intro trip is open to all students wanting to venture into the outdoors - undergraduates and postgraduates alike.

Places are limited; this trip will accept approximately 50 participants. 

What is going to happen?

On Friday night, we will all carpool up to the Cathedral Ranges, set up camp and wait for the latecomers to arrive. On Saturday morning, after breakfast, we'll split off into our groups based on your preference of activities and levels of experience!

What activities?

You'll have the choice of 3 activities from the following: bushwalking, rock climbing and social activities. After lunch, we'll swap activities, and when they're finished for the day, we'll all return to camp, have a dinner, and spend the night chatting around the fire and playing some fun games! Sunday gives you the chance to try the last activity, before we pack up camp and head home!

Costs and logistics

Intro trip will cost $180 per participant and covers gear rental, the campsite fee, petrol and car maintenance for the drivers, and all other bits and bobs that you need to have a nice camp. This price is comparable to, and even cheaper, than prices of commercial adventure companies around Melbourne, which offer similar experiences, but only of one activity and only for a day. 

IMPORTANT: If you are on the "Going" list for the trip, please transfer $180 (including a non-refundable 50 dollar deposit) to the following bank account to secure your spot. If you have not made a payment by Tuesday 28th Feb you will be sent to the bottom of the waitlist. 

NO REFUNDS WILL BE ISSUED AFTER 8PM ON MARCH 12TH

Account Name: MUMC

BSB: 063238

Account Number: 10917618

Label the transaction as “Intro Trip - Your name”

What else will I need?

If you don't have a tent or a sleeping bag, you'll be able to rent one from the club, or share a tent with someone who does have one! It's really cheap, so don't let that stop you from signing up! When you've signed up, you will get a list of what you must bring. You will also need to cater your own breakfast, lunch and dinner within food groups. More information on this will be provided during the mandatory meeting on March 5th. 

What if I've Climbed or Bushwalked Before? 

If you have previous climbing experience, either outdoors or lead climbing in the gym and aren't crazy about top roping please contact: as there will be a Trad Climbing Trip running at the same location during the weekend. 

If you have previous Bushwalking experience, please indicate in the signup form. There will be an intermediate bushwalking option during the weekend!
