Club hosts virtual slideshows during coronavirus pandemic

Due to the ongoing global pandemic, social distancing measures and requirement for the public to stay at home Aberdeen Mountaineering Club has been hosting weekly virtual slideshows using video conferencing software to keep members enthused and connected in place of the weekly pub meet. 

Club members have been presenting beautiful photographs of expeditions and holidays from recent and past trips. 

So far we've heard from Donald on his time spent in the Antarctic, from Mark Cadman on his trip to climb Aconcagua, from John & Ann on their recent trip to Costa Rica and climbing Mount Chirripo, from Liz on her and Carl's trip to Svalbard and Duncan on his 3 trips to New Zealand.  There are more slideshows scheduled in the coming weeks and this is expected to continue while social distancing measures are in place.

Of course all club walking and climbing activities are on hold now and club meets suspended until further notice.
