Milton Keynes Mountaineering Club

The committee is continually monitoring the situation with the Coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.  Good news at last!  With England now on stage 4 of the Roadmap out of Lockdown, Wales on Alert Level 0 and Scotland beyond Alert Level 0.  We are running club trips again, following the BMC COVID guidance.  There was an informal gathering of a few members in Snowdonia and a full Club  trip, to the Peak District in May (report for the club trip coming soon).  There was the Welsh 3,000s Expedition in June (Shane’s advertising word!) and a Welsh camping trip in early August.  See the upcoming trips page for other planned trips.
