The Committee has produced some advice to club members attending club meets during the current Coronavirus (Covid-19) outbreak. Worth a read before you venture out for a day on the hills. Should any meets change then the attendees will be contacted by the meet organiser and information will also be placed on the club website. The next "London" Lecture is on 1st February via Zoom. The lecture, entitled Iceland - September 2021, will be given by Jack Whitaker.
Jack originally planned to spend a few days in Iceland before joining a cruise to the Arctic. The cruise was cancelled due to the pandemic, so he converted the few days into a 12 day tour around all of Iceland, giving him an experience he would not want to have missed.
London lecture programme updated. Report and photos for the South day walk in January.
The next day walk is on Tuesday 8 February. To attend contact Paul (South) or Andy (North).
