Alpine Bikes new website....

Thursday, May 08, 2008

Alpine Bikes have a new and user friendly website at www.alpinebikes.com

They have also just launched a new initiative with Glenmore Lodge to give every student on a course a £10 voucher to spend in any of their outlets.

Even more than that.....they are arranging for an exploded bike for us to have here at the Lodge to add yet more to our training tools.

GET ON YOUR BIKE!

Adventure in Malawi is there for the taking......

Tuesday, May 06, 2008

Ever fancied exploring the rock face and mountains of Africa? Tiyende Pamodzi is a locally run outdoor adventure company based at the foot of the Mulanje Massif in Malawi. Mount Mulanje has the longest continuous rock face (1.7km) on the whole African continent, and a range of 23 peaks (highest at 3,017m) set in magnificent park land, protecting the endangered Mulanje cedar and the plentiful bird and animal life. Mount Mulanje is one of the largest examples of granite inselbergs in the world, and this distinctive isolated block of hard rock affords impressive views of the surrounding plains.

Tiyende Pamodzi Adventures runs hiking, climbing and cultural tours on the mountain, and Glenmore Lodge are happy to support their project in the form of training and equipment so they can expand their operation to inspire adventure in Malawi.

If you're interested in climbing or hiking in Malawi, would like to get involved in supporting the outdoor business in Malawi, or just checking us out, take a look at http://www.cholemalawi.com/pamodzi.htm. Or speak to Alice Jenner on 07825 448 582.

Lower Spey Landlip - serious warning

Thursday, May 01, 2008

Lower Spey LandslipA significant landslip has occurred on the banks of the Spey. Earth continues to fall down the 40 metres high bank and into the river. The danger to those on the water is now deemed to be considerable, and as such, the landowners - The Crown Estate, advise that access on the water is not taken up to and immediately beyond the slip. The slip (NJ340574) is situated 2km upstream from the A96 road bridge, between Ordiequish and Burnside of Dipple Farm at the 'Intake Pool'. This is a major threat.The SCA is liaising with the Crown Estate over this issue & will reassess this advice next week.

For further detail ref. P&J Article ~ http://www.pressandjournal.co.uk/Article.aspx/608318?UserKey=0

I will endeavour to keep you undated.
