Club gear is not available for loan or hire to non-members for private trips.

If you lose or destroy gear hired from WTMC, we will ask you to buy equivalent replacement gear.

Any damage to club gear should be reported to the gear person when the gear is returned so it can be repaired.

Club gear must be returned the Wednesday after it is taken out, so that it can be available for the following weekend's trips.

Flies and tents must be returned clean and dry to avoid mould.

Personal Locator Beacons (PLB)

Please see the club PLB policy. The club owns two different types of PLBs. Each has a letter for easy identification of the serial number.

Each PLB should be kept inside its dry bag, and only used in accordance with the club PLB policy.

Four of the club’s PLBs (PLBs A – D) are McMurdo Fast find 220 PLBs.

The club has recently purchased a fifth PLB (PLB E), which is a GME Accusat Pocket Series MT410G.
