 ABMSAC

We are a national UK mountaineering club with a strong interest in alpine mountaineering. As you can see from our meets programme and reports we are an active club, with a diverse and well attended range of meets. How to join us

George Starkey Hut
The hut is in Patterdale near Ullswater, at the heart of the Lake District’s Eastern Fells. It is ideally placed for the High Street range to the East, whilst from the front there is a splendid view of Helvellyn and its neighbouring fells: to reach them, all you have to do is put on your boots and walk from the Hut.
There are rock climbing and mountain biking opportunities from the front door, canoeing and sailing on Ullswater and pony trekking locally.

SAC commemorative stamps The Swiss Post Office has issued SAC commemorative stamps to celebrate 150 years of the SAC.

The magazine “Hello Switzerland” recently ran an article about the Centenary of the Britannia Hut and the Associations involvement with it.

Parking in the Peak District Andy Burton recently parked at the Birchens car park and a parking meter was being installed there.
The former North Lees estate land management has been entrusted to a partnership between the National Trust and the RSPB. Andy rang the RSPB rep for the area and they confirmed that all the car parks that they take over will be free of charge to either RSPB or National Trust members on displaying a current membership card in their windscreen. This will eventually encompass the whole area from Stanage right down to Birchens.
