Monday, June 16, 2008
Tim Walker has announced that he will be stepping down as Principal of Glenmore Lodge. His last day will be Saturday 20th September at the big 60th birthday bash.
Tim has worked at the Lodge for 30 years in various roles. He started as an instructor and moved onto Principal 12 years ago.
They are a big shoes to fill as the Lodge is going through a golden era right now and he has lead us there. He will be missed by his team and who on earth is going to make the rest of us feel like we are young?

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.
