After 4 months of summer holidays, it is now time to start a fresh Breakaway year! Our calendar is of course fully packed with exciting events. The dates for this year's walking and weekend trips have been released and can be found here. Social events will appear here as they are planned.

If you are new to Breakaway, you might be interested to see a few pictures from last year's walks and events. We also recommend you to have a look at our equipment page.

We hope to see you soon on one of our events!

Organised by our wonderful new social rep, Arabella. This'll take you around St Andrews to explore the town a little with the motivation of chocolate treats on the way.

It's on Tuesday 25th, meeting outside the Union at 7:30pm, and it's all for the bargain cost of £1.

I realise that this is also on the home page, but I wanted to push that photo down from the top of the page...

This blog is cooooooool! Good work Patrick. And I am really gutted that we can't play on the carts at Tyndrum anymore...it was the best walk ever because of those!
Thanks to everyone who came on the trip to Braemar for helping out with washing up/clearing up and being generally cheerful. It was one of the best ever trips.

This was spotted by Anne, the mine in Tyndrum that we've walked to a few times is being reopened, as a working gold mine.

BBC News report

No more playing on the mine carts or looking at the core samples then.

This isn't really Breakaway news, but after designing a whole new Blog system I intend to use it.

The rest of the site will slowly be converted to this new style, for the moment this section is the prototype.

So, enjoy, and leave comments if you so desire.

Hopefully the background effect will work with any modern browser, Internet explorer users, please either upgrade or get Firefox.

If you have any problems or suggestions, email me.

Usernames and passwords are the same as before.
