We have launched a new version of the BMC website. It’s not just a cosmetic makeover; we’ve made it easier to find all the latest news and advice on your favourite activity, whether it’s indoor climbing, rock climbing, walking or mountaineering. You can now comment on news articles too. It’s also easier to find information on events, clubs, climbing walls, huts, and a host of other stuff.
There are still some bugs to fix and broken links to mend, but we hope you like the improvements and welcome your feedback.
Dave Turnbull, BMC CEO
