Having taken into account the current COVID restrictions that currently apply in the different parts of the UK, we have made the difficult decision to cancel the 2021 reunion.
The Chairman Nick Butler will be heading up the Fan at 0930 hrs on Saturday the 15th May and he will lay a BAFC wreath on behalf of the Club at the summit.
He will also toast The Fallen.
If other members wish to make their own pilgrimage up the Fan at their own risk please follow the relevant COVID restrictions that will be in place.
As a Club we are not able to accept liability for members safety and well being over the weekend of 14/15 May. Our Clubs insurance that normally covers Fandance will not operate this year.
Update to follow reference Aldershot 10 Miler on the 20th November 2021.
.........................................................................................................................The 10 Miler will be held on w/e Saturday 23rd November 2024........................................................................................
didn't even go up there, bob. Tried the old trick of throwing a rope over a branch i wanted rid of, and pulling down with all my might. Trouble was, most of the tree came down on top of me. Even worse, I'd just told the missus to grab the camera and watch the maestro do his work. She's never let me forget it.
Steve, never give them a camera mate, I don't know what it is but women take great delight in our unfortunate mishaps. And we are subjects of great glee when documentary evidence is passed around for all to see ! Pleased she didn't have a camera when I had my little mishap with the shit bucket !
Well done Treeman. don't climb anymore, but still building dykes / walls n felling hardwoods,softwoods. just got a job felling about 200 fairly large Sitka spruce,for a local land owner,no bad fur 79,lol
I think it's tradition to stick your finger in a dyke.
I did
I did, that's when I found out she wuz a dyke. There is a wooded area near me called Borsdane wood, very steep sides with a river running through the middle of the wood for it length, it is about 1.5 miles long. Steep sides meant that it could not be farmed so just left alone. Now it is meant to be one of the few areas left in England which remains true English woodland, they say if you were to go back 7000 years this is exactly how our woods looked. They scour the place for any 'foreign' trees or other growth (Rhody's etc) and if trees fall they leave them where they are (unless blocking footpaths or the river) and let nature deal with it. Wonderful place, try to get in every day and the wildlife is great, badger, deer etc. In contrast, went to Sherwood last year, massive old oak, and some prick decided that near to the largest oak in Sherwood they should park a burger van, stinking the place of onions and litter strewn.
I love this type of stuff. They must know what they are doing. As long as they don't escape and go feral. If I could do it all again I would'nt mind being a game keeper maybe. I quite fancy shooting poachers up the arse with bird seed for nickin' me partridges. Maybe plug the occasional aristocrat. Keep 'em in line.
