Sensible Clubs and Societies

Im not overly familiar with London, but I always thought it was well known for its dearth of mountains?

A friend of mine belongs to the 'South Devon Mountaineering club' the t shirt always raises a smile.

To be fair I think they do a fair bit of cliff climbing, and go on trips to bigger stuff.

But It uses all my willpower not to wax lyrical about the rarefied air of The Totnes Massif, when I see it.

Back in the early 80's when I lived on the Isle of Bute, a new guy came to the island.
He was known as "Jimmy the Joiner".
The masonic, speakers club, golf club, bowling club, tennis club, rugby club, football club; you name it, he joined it!

There's something to be said for integrating into a community.

(Says the person who won't join anything... Is there a hypocrites club?)

Shooters Hill and the climb out of Greenwich, not exactly mountains, but you will need bottom gear.

One of my friends is a member of the Chelsea Caving Club. And I believe London has a similar dearth of (natural) underground spaces

Yeah. We did a lot of driving. M1, M6, A5. Most weekends. Crazy, really.

I think I'm technically still a member of the Church of England. They don't seem to have missed me in the last 50 years, or me them.

No back-subs to pay I assume?

I'm sure you're still in their thoughts and prayers though

Lots of hidden / abandoned tunnels in London

 

[Reynard]

Oh yes, I forgot... Littleport Angling Club waaaaay back when...

It's a shame you're not a professional as I've got a few panels in the back garden that need replacing. 😊

Hmmmm, do you like your fence panels in foil, sabre or epee flavour?

Which is why it needs a mountaineering club. If you live in the mountains then forming a club to enjoy them hardly seems worthwhile. Where there is logistics involved in enjoying your past time. Then a club makes sense.
