Blantyre Three Peaks Walk. 29 June 1991

Following the success of last year's event which included a 'Three Peaks Only' section, the same formula was used again, turning a one-time misery into a more cheerful social event.

That is not to say the event is any less gruelling but the cheerful banter tends to take the sting out of those hated words too often spoken by you know who: 'OK, let's go, let's do it', just when you want five minutes' more rest!

This annual trek around Blantyre gives the regulars 12 hours to reflect on the changing environment of the city, the villages, plantations and dwindling areas of indigenous trees, in moonlight and sunshine.

The British High Commissioner to Malawi, Nigel Wenban-Smith, joined the walk this year and presented the club with five pocket radio sets to assist with Mountain Rescue. Peter Garland ran a mobile patrol testing the units, and broadcasts from Frank Kippax kept us entertained most of the day. "Midnight" Jack Bannister

Participants: Those who completed the full 42km walk were: Katie Hick, Lisa Kuusipala, Toby Kibble, Mark Prothero, Geoff Douglass, Dennis Lewis, John "Koenig von Mulanje" Killick, Tim Rump, Simon "Scope" Cope and "Midnight" Jack Bannister.
