MORE HIKES * MORE SOCIALS = FUN^FUN
Hey everyone, I'm Declan Loo and I am running for Routemaster. I’m sure that you've seen me in a handful of weekend and residential hikes, such as Seven Sisters, Surrey Three Peaks and the recent Pembrokeshire Residential (where I got best navigator award!), and socials.
I’ve truly enjoyed every hike, social, and residential I’ve attended and led, gaining valuable life and soft skills along the way. This experience has motivated me to give back to the club and contributing to shaping its future - because HIKING = FUN!
If I am elected as Routemaster. I aim to:
- Midweek hikes to explore trails around London
- Joint hikes with other UCL societies and London uni's hiking clubs
- Participate in challenge walks/hikes in both inside and outside London and potentially create our own ones
- Create a route form for club members to submit hiking trails that they have done that can potentially be added to our database and used on our weekend hikes to increase engagement with members
- Create a public route database that we have hiked for both weekend and residentials, where we share our experiences and route maps in .gpx for club members to refer to, for improved accessibility
- Conduct an updated audit and improve the current huge route database
I'm excited to contribute more to the London’s best university hiking club. If you have any questions, reach out via email at declan.loo.23@ucl.ac.uk or Instagram (@declanloo).
Vote for me as your next Routemaster!! :).
