Blitz's Bitz
British Mountaineering Council Huts
In keeping with the idea of the club being an exploration
club with interests other than caving (and drinking!) the committee have this
year rejoined the British Mountaineering Council. This allows us access to all huts maintained
by BMC and the Mountaineering Club of Scotland. The BMC has sent us a 19 page list, covering over 80 huts throughout
