Although I wasn’t there, the the powers that be in the British Mountaineering Council have committed to appointing a Access and Conservation with special responsibility for Wales. This is a landmark appointment, as Wales was the only on of the home nations not to have an officer with a specific welsh focus within the National Mountaineering councils. In fact all other home nations have there own ‘national’ governing council.
The post will be advertised in the coming weeks, which given the current economic climate is good news.
