The Association of Lightweight Campers is a special interest section within the Camping and Caravanning Club.
The group's speciality is camping with lightweight equipment i.e. tents not more than 2 metres high and all equipment easily transportable.
Many of our members arrive on foot or bicycle although the majority travel by motorcycle or car.
Anybody camping in a small tent, irrespective of mode of transport, will be made most welcome.
As members of The Camping and Caravanning Club, ALC members have all the advantages
of a large organisation dedicated to all aspects of camping, plus
the benefits of a section with special interests and expertise.
ALC membership is exclusive to members of The
Camping and Caravanning Club by paying an additional annual fee of
£5.00 per family. For this you will receive "The
Bulletin", a quarterly newsletter. Apart
from giving information on all our meets, it provides technical
data, site and tent reports, travel articles from our own members
and other items of interest to the lightweight camper.
We hold a number of meets throughout
the year in a variety of locations from basic woodland sites to
Camping and Caravanning Club sites with full facilities. There are
even some sites where we are able to enjoy the pleasures of a
campfire. Whatever the location we endeavour to provide a
relaxed, friendly and informal atmosphere.
