Pete McDonald is looking for three or four enthusiastic volunteers with the abilities to jointly produce an accurate, readable and complete history of The White Hall Centre. The centre is based near Buxton in Derbyshire.
White Hall Centre was established by Sir Jack Longland, a major figure in mountaineering and the history of Mountain Training.
The centre quickly gained a national reputation and a strong consensus seems to exist that identifies White Hall Centre as the mould followed – closely or not so closely – by many of the LEA residential outdoor pursuits centres that were established in the 1960s and 70s. So the approaches and ethos that evolved at White Hall in the 1950s hold more than just local relevance.
