The British Mountaineering Council has completely
overhauled its website to make it easier to use for climbers,
hill walkers and mountaineers.
The new design - it says here - makes it easy to navigate to all
aspects of the BMC's work and all content is crosslinked with latest
news. On top of that, all the back issues of Summit Magazine are now
available as PDFs online, making it - according to the BMC anyway -
the 'first fully online climbing magazine in the UK'.
Also on the site are free downloads of good practice information
and chapters from BMC guidebooks. Apparently you can also sign up for
news feeds and watch video clips, though we couldn't find them.
BMC patron Sir Chris Bonington says: "Great looking website - easy
to navigate, stacks of interesting news and useful information - just
what the climbing community needs."
Do you agree? There's certainly a lot on there... The new site is
at www.thebmc.co.uk
and there's loads more to come as well including online
membership management.
