  • Newsletter Autumn 2013
    Aberdeen Hillwalking Club Newsletter 2012-2013 CHAIRMAN’S CHAT Welcome to the latest edition of our newsletter and apologies for the delay in issuing this production, which was caused by the hospitalisation of Kris Howard, our editor, who unfortunately was involved in a serious road traffic accident whilst cycling. Kris received extensive injuries from which I am pleased to report he has now recovered from and indeed has joined us again on our outings. Sadly, Kris has decided to give up the role of editor and the “baton” has been taken over by Fiona Wallace, ably assisted by her husband Alan. We wish them well in this new task and ask for your help and support by providing them with any interesting news items or articles appropriate to future editions of the newsletter. We have enjoyed a great summer, weatherise, with record temperatures throughout the country. Let us hope this will encourage our members and any newcomers to join us on future outings. There are only a few walks left before the end of our season and it is always useful to check out your hillwalking equipment to see if you require to renew or replace items. Many bargains can be had from sales and discounts, so check out our list of outdoor retailers for special offers. One important and essential item, which we should all carry, is a first aid kit. It does not have to be extensive but should at least cover essential items, which may be necessary for outdoor use. There are plenty of off-the-shelf kits available and information on-line to enable you to create your own emergency kit.
