BMC Midlands Area AGM (West Bromwich, 27 November)
The next BMC Midlands area AGM will be held on Thursday 27 November starting at 7:00pm. The meeting will take place in-person at The Red Lion, 190 All Saints Way, West Bromwich, B71 1RH. Come along to our gathering of Midlands mountaineers, climbers and walkers and learn more about the BMC.
The AGM and Area Meeting will include all the usual business, including a brief update from the Midlands Area Committee, officer elections, a slideshow, and an opportunity to socialise with fellow Midlands hill walkers, climbers, and mountaineers.
Kang Yatse 2 with Rolfe Oostra
The area meeting will include guest speaker Rolfe Oostra.
Rolfe will share his gripping stories about climbing in the Indian Himalayas. He’ll take you to Kang Yatse 2, one of the most accessible 6000-ers on the planet. Rolfe will also talk about the rarely climbed Nun Peak, a technical 7135m Himalayan giant deep in the mountains of Zanskar. To top it off he will share tips and tricks on how to do these epic mountains yourself.
Upcycle_Kit | Repairing your outdoor kit
Katy Frances founder of upcycle_kit will also be with us. From around ~17:00 Katy will be running a discussion and workshop, on repairing outdoor kit. Got a simple repair, bring it along, and depending on demand, Katy might be able to get it back 'fighting fit' there and then, or if not, show you how to tackle it yourself, afterwards.

Mend Our Mountains Articles
The dramatic skyline of the Great Ridge walk connects the summits of Lose Hill and Mam Tor in Derbyshire’s Hope Valley. Heavy footfall left the path in a badly eroded state and work to repair the damage to the path started in March this year, and has seen 500 metres of the most serious damage along the path repaired to protect the surrounding landscape and bordering habitat.
