Cheers Steve - not out tomorrow. If you are at the Meet pick up a bunch from there to take around the Notts walls. Thanks again   

[Offwidth]

Sorry, picked up a twinge yesterday and don't want to risk climbing on it. Worst case we can distribute locally after the meeting.

Super-strong reticent Scottish teenager Malcolm SmithWilliam Bosi redpointed Hubble thereby cementing his standing as the UK’s best under 46-yearold sport climber.

Perhaps it is an old joke now, but I loved "Climb Down".

Ironically I think it was Alex Messenger the BMC Marketing Manager who first came up with that.

Thanks for the compliments.   

Printed versions will be available from next week at Awesome Sheffield, The Foundry and the Works. And of course the Meeting on Weds. If anyone can take copies away from the Meeting for their local walls or clubs let me know on the night

Bastard... I've just lost a  good portion of my hot 'cold and flu relief' drink down my shirt after reading your piece.

A good read - even though I'm not a member. And a good tribute from Dave to your years of service Shark. It was - in part - like a best mans speech - just missing a large picture of you clingfilmed to a lampost in Rotherham.

[dave]

I must admit I'm not down with the kids enough to know what a "langster" is. Little help?

[nai]

tall gangster?

[tomtom]

I think its an attempt at a viscous smear on the climbing ability of people of a normal (6ft+) height....

AKA 'lankster' for the hard of thinking 

[dave]

A quick google suggests langster is a type of road bike, is this a sly product placement deal?

Latest news now up

The April 2017 issue of the BMC Peak Area Newsletter is now online, keeping you informed about what’s happening in the region, including details of the next BMC Peak Area Meeting.

In this issue:  There’s an interview with hill walking rep Peter Judd, and Peter provides the latest hill walking news, including a new strategic plan for the BMC’s hill walking work and proposals for Mend Our Mountains 2; Julie Gough from Friends of the Peak District tells us about a new 190-mile walk around the national park boundary; Carl Bedson encourages you to report your sightings of mountain and brown hares, and Chris Moor encourages you to use your vote at the BMC AGM, which includes a motion of ‘no confidence’ in the Executive; plus the regular round-up of access and conservation news by Henry Folkard, climbing news and gossip from Dave Parry, and Luke Barley’s update on the work of the National Trust in the area

Peak Area Meeting: 5 April

The next Peak Area Meeting is on Wednesday 5 April 2017, starting at 7.30pm, at The Maynard, Main Road, Grindleford, S32 2HE

Come along to our regular gathering of Peak climbers and walkers, to discuss the latest issues and get involved in the work of the BMC. Area meetings are run by volunteers and are your chance to join in with debate and influence decisions about what happens in your area as well as the rest of the country.

The major talking point of the meeting will no doubt be the motion of ‘no confidence’ in the BMC Executive Committee, which will be voted on at the BMC AGM on 22 April – members can also vote by proxy if they won’t be attending the AGM; and Simon Lee, our commercial partnerships manager, will be at the meeting to talk about and discuss affinity partnerships.

Maddy Cope talk
Guest speaker for the evening is Sheffield-based rock climber Maddy Cope. Maddy is a talented all-rounder with a varied CV including hard trad and sport routes, big walls and alpine rock.

Free supper provided by the BMC. All are welcome.
