As I was being snowed on at the Alice Nash Memorial Heri- VES tage Lodge carpark recently, I started thinking about the awesome tramping and skiing trips that are coming up on the trip card. Winter is a great time to revisit your favourite destinations, and a chill in LEA the air and snow on the ground somehow heightens the sense of adventure.! Sure, you may need to plan a shorter trip to take account of the short daylight hours and slower travelling conditions, but the rewards are worth it.! Carrying the right gear (especially shelter for all the party, warm and water- proof clothes, sunscreen and sunglasses, torch, along with the other standard pack contents) will BEECH help to ensure you have a good time and can tell everyone about it when you get back. ! I hope that many of you will have the chance to visit the Lodge sometime soon.! The refurbished lounge suite (thanks to Turnbull Furniture, who incidentally built the suite way back in the eighties) will cap off a busy pre-season series of work parties.! If you want to know what colour it is, then go and have a look for yourself! ! Your subscriptions, which are the same as in previous years, are now due.! Please make a point of paying your subs promptly to ensure that you continue getting the newsletter, member rates at the lodge, use of the minibus, and all of the other benefits; it helps the Club, too.!

Snow is forecast to 700m over the weekend of 16/17 June which is great news for the skiers but will probably make the food carry across to the Lodge a little more challenging. Construction plans for the Valley Express chairlift proposed for Whakapapa Ski Area have been delayed due to the need for a more lengthy approval and consent process than had originally been expected. The 3 major devel- opment projects at Turoa are very close to be- ing finished. The new snowmaking system is pretty much ready to go, contractors are putting the finishing touches on the massive new Al- pine Chalet and the chairs for the High Noon Express are being flown up now.

  • DNPA's Detailed Responses to Comments
    Dartmoor National Park Authority Local Plan Review 2018 - 2036 Full report on Regulation 19 representations (by respondent) Respondent Number: 0002 Name: John Penny Organisation: Devon Stone Federation On behalf of: Rep Number: 7 Local Plan Section: 1 Paragraph / Policy: Strategy Is the Local Plan sound?: Yes Is the Local Plan legally compliant?: No Is the Local Plan compliant with the duty to co-operate?: Yes Hearing session(s)?: Yes, I wish to participate in hearing session(s) Why?: to ensure the Plan is consistent with national policy Did respondent comment on Reg 18 Local Plan?: Yes Detail of Representation: plan needs to be consistent with national policy Modifications necessary: The paragraph states "Major development will not take place in the National Park other than in exceptional circumstances". The use of the word 'will' is not appropriate and does not reflect the definition given on page 9 under "Understanding the Local Plan". The sentence about Major development is supposed to reflect para 172 of the NPPF 2018. This uses the word 'should', as in "Planning permission should be refused for major development other than in exceptional circumstances". Therefore, the sentence in the Local Plan should be changed to: "Major development should not take place in the National Park other than in exceptional circumstances". We suggest that the use of the word 'will' is reviewed elsewhere in the Draft Local Plan. Authority response: The wording is considered consistent with the NPPF, ‘should’ in the NPPF allows local policy a degree of flexibility in the application of the policy and the possibility of introducing other criteria which could allow major development to occur in a National Park, other than the exceptional circumstances stated in NPPF para 172.

  • Blue-Sky Eruptions, Do They Exist? Implications for Monitoring New
    Blue‐sky eruptions, do they exist? Implications for monitoring New Zealand’s volcanoes. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Disaster and Hazard Management at the University of Canterbury by Angela Louise Doherty University of Canterbury 2009 Frontispiece “What are the odds, right?” “Before it happened it would have said slim, but since it did happen I would say 100%...” Dr Ray Langston replying to Catherine Willows (played by Lawrence Fishburne and Marg Helgenberger – CSI: Crime Scene Investigation). Lahar following the September 2007 eruption of Ruapehu (photo: GNS Science). Abstract The term “blue‐sky eruption” (BSE) can be used to describe eruptions which are unexpected or have no detected precursory activity. Case study analyses indicate that they have a diverse range of characteristics and magnitudes, providing both direct and indirect hazards and occur in both under‐developed and developed countries. BSEs can be a result of physical triggers (e.g. the lack of physically detectable precursors or a lack of understanding of the eruption model of the volcano), social triggers (such as an inadequate monitoring network), or a combination of the two. As the science of eruption forecasting is still relatively young, and the variations between individual volcanoes and individual eruptions are so great, there is no effective general model and none should be applied in the absence of a site‐specific model. Similarly, as methods vary between monitoring agencies, there are no monitoring benchmarks for effective BSE forecasting. However a combination of seismic and gas emission monitoring may be the most effective.

Gerta had been telling me about all the fun I was missing. At last, I couldn't resist. I was not disappointed!! This particular AGM marked a number of firsts: • the first AGM in over 20 years not held in the Rockies; • the first (I think) AGM ever held on the west coast; • my first ever AGM, and first face-to-face of any kind with the National Club and all of those enthusiastic, hard working folks who run it and make things happen; • and maybe some more. The meetings were hosted by the Vancouver Section. And what superb hosts! The extensive pre-event activities offered something for everyone - the easterners seemed to go most for the ocean kayaking. The setting was spectacular - in the penthouse suite of the UBC Graduate Student Centre, looking across Burrard Inlet at the North Shore Mountains Gil Parker earning his Distinguished Service Award chopping brush and up Howe Sound at the Tantalus Range - all still on the ski route into Marriott Basin. Judith Holm blanketed in snow. The receptions were cordial, the discussions were lively and the people were the kind you would like to meet again. VI Section was well represented, The setting itself proved more effective than any words in with Judith and Viggo Holm and Richard Keltie (we can sensitizing the group and the discussions to the contrasts that still count Richard can't we?) attending throughout.

  • Varsity Outdoor Qub Journal
    Tk« Varsity Outdoor Qub Journal VOLUME XXI 1978 The Unveuibj of ThttUk CdumHa. Vancouver, Canada PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Julian Dunster March 1979 Ladies and Gentlemen, Fellow Members of the Varsity Outdoor Club. On behalf of Her Majesty The. Queen, I want to dedicate this brief epistle to that finest of Canadian traditions. The Great Outdoors. Having heen used to British Mountaineering and the ennervating experience of travelling for two or more days just to get near a mountain over 4000 feet, let alone climb it, I have found the British Columbia experience a great contrast. People living in Vancouver are really very lucky to be so close to such a vast array of outdoors experiences. Even more so the members of this club have a unique opportunity to try their hand at all the various facets of mountain­ eering without being committed to a large capital investment in equip­ ment. As a member there is the chance to get out and see some of the "Super Natural" scenery at a time when the external pressures of life are at a minimum. Vancouver has more than enough to offer for all levels of exper­ ience, ranging from easy climbs at Lighthouse Park in the summer evenings, to long technical routes on the Chief; from easy rambles on the North Shore to long hard days in the mountains, and from being a novice skier on Grouse (like myself) to serious winter traverses across the mountains. Perhaps its only fault lies in its apparent lack of snow in recent years. But then snow anywhere is rather like sex one never knows how many inches there will be nor how long it will last 11 Few people would deny that one's University days are probably the happiest of one's life.

Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country. – John F. Kennedy All of us were much, much younger when President Kennedy uttered those inspiring words many decades ago. But that message of service, volunteerism, and working together did seem to resonate with and inspire many of us (then) young Americans at the time. The idea that our country, state, or town is only as good or as successful as the efforts of its citizens is fundamental to the workings of a democracy. Put simply, we all need to roll up our sleeves and contribute. The idea applies equally to a community association such as ours. We need to leverage the talents and efforts of all members of the community to continue to be successful and thrive. It is easy, especially in an over-55 community, to adopt the notion that “I’ve paid my dues” and now it’s time to let someone else to do the work. It’s true that we are very lucky and have much to be thankful for. In essence, we In this issue: have won life’s lottery: we’ve had successful careers, raised our families, and now are entitled to settle down and enjoy the fruits of our labors.
