The deadline for the next Peak Area Newsletter is the 1st April – all contributions welcome. Please send them directly to Martin, the editor, at: peakarea@gmail.com
As part of the main meeting on the 15th Dave Turnbull, CEO and Carey Davies, BMC Hill Walking Development Officer will be presenting plans for hill walkers, asking the question - ‘what do hill walkers want from the BMC?’
Also in attendance from the Peak District National Park Authority (PDNPA) will be Rebekah Newman (who is in charge of Stanage North Lees) and Sue Smith (Rights of Way person) who deals with access issues. The PDNPA is in the midst of consultations with key stakeholders to inform a refreshed Management Plan. If you have any priorities that you would like to feed into this Plan, or have an opinion on car parking charges on PDPNA land (including Stanage), then please come along to the meeting and have your say.
After a buffet provided by the BMC, Terry Abraham will be giving a presentation, including short clips of his work, entitled: “The Life of a Mountain Man”. After seeing his film, ‘Life of a Mountain: A Year on Scafell Pike' I think we’re all in for a real treat.

25th April, 2pm, at Edale Village Hall – Spirit of Kinder, an event organized by the Kinder and High Peak Advisory Committee, celebrating 50 years of the Pennine Way. This is being hosted by the BMC Ambassador Chris Townsend and admission is free.
