Gear Locker

gearlocker

The CUTC gear locker is an excellent resource exclusive to tramping club members. For a small hire fee and deposit, you can hire most of the gear you'll need to get going. Just come and see the friendly gear locker officers Jake and Ross during the times mentioned below, or if you really can't make those times, a meeting time can be arranged.

If you don't have the full deposit and hire fee you won't get a sock out of us!

Hours

Location

The gear locker is located in the backwaters of the UCSA building (Ilam Road side of the University). Go towards the men's toilets opposite the main stairs, but hang a right through the door before you get there. Turn left straight away down the dingy corridor and you'll find the locker on the right (the door is covered with related pictures).
