An apology
 

Unfortunately, due to technical problems, printing of The Bulletin has been delayed which is why ALC members didn't receive it at the beginning of the month, as promised.  However, it will be distributed very soon.  In the meantime the colour version is now available in the Members' Area of this website.

 

Welcome to the ALC website.  Do browse around to find out what we are about, what we plan to do, and sample tastes of what we have done in the past.  If you can't find what you are looking for, do use the 'Contact us' page to let us know and we will get back to you.

We are a friendly group of members who welcome anyone with a passion for lightweight camping.  (For guidance, the ALC constitution defines a lightweight tent as being no more than 2 metres in height and with a maximum weight in the region of 2.5 kilograms (5.5lbs) plus 1.5 kilograms (3.3lbs) per person in respect of the number of persons for which it has been designed.)

We have members of all ages who camp in a wide variety of small tents.  For example, some people are cycle campers, others simply enjoy getting away from it all by spending a couple of nights close to nature with the option of socialising with kindred spirits.  At our meets you are welcome to get together with others for bike rides, walks, or sharing travellers' tales in the evening.  On the other hand, if you wish to 'do your own thing' no-one will accuse you of being anti-social.  The main focus is to enjoy the simple pleasures of camping in small tents.

Thank you for visiting our website.  Do come back soon to keep up with the latest news and events!
