SpectatorGreetings from the Indian Mountaineering Foundation!
On behalf of the IMF Webinar team, it is my great pleasure to share Volume 5 of the IMF Webinars 2020, titled : Everest by a Staircase by Dr. Arun Nayak, which is now live on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FBYs39TOzo&t=12s . This video “Everest by a Staircase” is intended as an inspiration to all fitness enthusiasts finding yourself constricted by the ongoing lockdown. Dr. Arun Nayak has made good use of this time to accomplish a long held dream, of climbing the equivalent of Everest (8,848m) on the staircase of his building. And he does so without breaking the lockdown rules!

Hony. Editor, ApexSpectatori assume that most if not all Members will have received the BMC newsletter today. But in case its useful to anyone, there are some pointers in it about going walking in familiar areas (don’t assume any Mountain Rescue service is still operating) and keeping your distance whilst doing so.

SpectatorDear All,
It is deeply unfortunate that our lovely plans for tonight come at a time of increasing concern over Covid-19 virus. The Committee asks each of us to consider the position in the light of our circumstances.
There is a Government COBRA meeting as I type, expected to move upwards with precautions. . But although I watched TV intently, I could discern no clear advice. COBRA are likely to go “soft” on the basis that the public will get lax with precautions over time, so better to introduce restrictions later. Other countries (eg Northern Ireland ) are going “hard” to try to “get ahead”.
Nobody really knows.What is clear in principle, is that the less contact one has, the less the chance of catching anything. John’s medical practice is taking a very cautios line and takes the view that unnecessary gatherings should be avoided. The point of course, is not the risk to oneself, but the risk to others and overloading the NHS if you pass it on.
Some of us are therefore thinking that with the utmost reluctance, it might just be the braver thing to pass up tonight’s gathering. It is relevant to think whether you know or meet anyone else who could be vulnerable, if you pick up the virus and pass it on to them. From the very little I know, I suppose anyone attending should take plenty of tissues and wash hands frequently
ANDREWSpectatorOK good. we’ll sort transport and parking place later this afternoon once MWIS is updated
