Daphne Martin passed way 19 November 2024
Rupert Roschnik circulated the following
message to members:
We heard very recently that one of our long-standing members, Daphne
Martin, died peacefully in her sleep last Tuesday morning, after some six
months in a care home. She had been
elected Honorary Member of METHS in September 2023. Many of us will remember her for her presence
at meets from 1990 onwards, and from leading at least two meets in Mallorca
where she lived and one in the Spanish Pyrenees. Some of us will also have read her books on
an epic land-rover trip from Kenya to Spain:
"The Daftest Journey" and "Through Ebola Territory: Driving through dangerous jungle with a
baby".
Our condolences to her family, especially her son
Bruce, also a METHS member. She
will also be remembered fondly by many hiking companions in Mallorca.
No other information received. Members are however welcome to send
contributions of anything they think worth mentioning to Janet Woods, for possible inclusion on
the web site.
