KWS is reenacting the 1963 Independence Climb up Mt Kenya. While the main anniversary teams climb up Batian, KWS, MCK and other organisations and individuals that want to celebrate the 50 years of independence will walk up Point Lenana on the night of 11th. 

Two members of the original 1963 expedition that summitted Nelion will be coming to Kenya for the Kenya@50 celebrations and will walk up to Point Lenana on the anniversary evening together with MCK.

Dates: 9th to 12th December

 Traditionally, MCK members gathered every Tuesday night for drinks and  talk of mountains and  the great outdoors. It was a great opportunity to get out of the house and talk about the past adventures and plan future escapades. But in those days, it was a 20 minute drive to the club without frustration.

We propose to resume informal Tuesday nights in Westlands at a location convenient to more members. The first gathering will be at The Treehouse, Westlands Road on Tuesday, Nov 19 from 8:30 PM. So come down, spend time with other outdoor folks and the weekend won’t seem so far away.

Invite your non member friends too. The more the merrier.

Cash bar.
