Newsletter Themes

2023 sees the 75th anniversary of the AAC(UK). We plan to look at changes that have taken place in our mountain adventures during that time, particularly in Austria. One candidate will be huts – compare the ‘long drop’ toilets of yesteryear with the extraordinary efforts to clean up the mountains described in Janet Britnell’s Hut Fund Report in this issue. Another might be the changing geological landscape, particularly the glaciers, which is a recurring theme in several articles and in previous issues. Perhaps the changes in equipment; tricouni nails, tweed jackets and hemp ropes anyone?

We are looking for creative ideas from members on topics which might be addressed and, of course, volunteers to contribute articles. If you have any thoughts or would like to get scribbling and, ideally, dig out the faded photos please contact the editor aac.newsletter.editor@aacuk.org.uk or via the Office
