Welcome

The amount of energy generated by wind turbines might be debatable, but what’s clear is that the location of proposed wind farm sites often fuels heated argument in the outdoor community. Our seminar in North Wales in September will examine the BMC’s position on this divisive topic.

We’ve restructured the BMC Access & Conservation Trust; in the coming months we’ll be letting you know how you can contribute to ACT’s work to protect your cliffs and mountains.

Dave Turnbull, BMC CEO

The BMC (British Mountaineering Council) is the representative body that exists to protect the freedoms and promote the interests of climbers, hill walkers and mountaineers, including ski-mountaineers. The BMC recognises that climbing, hill walking and mountaineering are activities with a danger of personal injury or death. Participants in these activities should be aware of and accept these risks and be responsible for their own actions.
