    Many thanks to all those who donated equipment and books to the Mountain Heritage Trust. Linda previously posted on Facebook that we had delivered a substantial amount of material to MHT at their offices below Blencathra.
    Items included: 6 ice axes and 2 ice hammers
    6 pairs of mountaineering and touring skis
    5 helmets
    11 pairs of mountaineering and ski mountaineering boots
    2 climbing harnesses and various items of equipment including peg hammer and pegs, nuts, slings, krabs and
    belay plates
    5 boxes of climbing guides
    2 boxes of magazines.

    More can be found about the MHT and its work at: http://www.mountain-heritage.org/
    They currently have two exhibitions at Keswick Museum. The first is about Chris Bonington and the second about Women and Mountaineering.
    They are particularly interested in receiving donations of climbing/mountaineering clothing (especially Ventile), old First Aid boxes and skin care products such as glacier cream.
