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..................................................................................................................................
Mountaineer, soldier, spy and expedition doctor whose fascination with Arabia stemmed from his father’s school friend TE Lawrence
As cold war spread across the Middle East in the 1960s, Philip Horniblow became a natural candidate for government interest. A former soldier in the Parachute Regiment with an eye for clandestine operations, keenly fascinated by the Arab world and newly qualified as a doctor, he had sound credentials to be a spy for British interests. Time spent as a mountaineer in the Alps and Himalayas added to his image as someone who would have useful views and information about a complex and developing part of the world.
