Contact the BMC Press Office
The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) works to protect the future of hill walking, climbing, and mountaineering so people can embrace adventure both now and for generations to come. We have a range of spokespeople available for comment and broadcast interviews who can speak about hill walking, climbing, and mountaineering-related topics, including recreation and health, access, rights of way, and countryside issues. Additionally, we have a photo library of hill walking, climbing, and mountaineering images available for journalists preparing content about the BMC and our work.
