About this Event
Join Us at the BMC London & South East Area Meeting!
The highlight of the evening will be hearing from Tim Vaughan
In 1992, when Tim Vaughan was asked if he wanted to abseil down the third largest underground cavern in the world, he jumped at the opportunity. Majlis al Jinn Cave, Oman, is one of the largest known cave chambers in the world, and at the time, very few people had ever explored it . All that was left to do was find the cave itself in the middle of a mountainous desert landscape, and find a 200m climbing rope with minimal bounce. Descending through Cheryl's drop, considered the most challenging entrance, Tim and the team started a 168m abseil.
We are thrilled to have Tim join us to bring the adventure to life, in addition to his other (at times, pretty hairy!) caving experiences.
TheBMC London & South East Area meeting is also a chance to meet other climbers and walkers from the local area. There will be drinks and nibbles available before the meeting starts.
Area Meetings are run by volunteers and provide an opportunity for you to discuss issues and influence decisions affecting climbers and walkers locally and nationally.
Please come and join us for a great evening, we are a friendly bunch, so even if this is your first time we will do our best to make you fele welcome.
An agenda for the evening will be posted on our local area page on the BMC website:
