Neil Goldsmith, the Journal Editor writes:
The Rucksack Club membership appears to have a collective writer’s block. So far I have four articles, with a couple of obituaries to follow. There have been members going to interesting places, the Tatra earlier this year, where others might be interested to read about for a follow up visit but writer’s cramp appears to be affecting the hands of attendees. I have been promised articles, but amnesia is affecting the would be writers.
I am frequently told how important the Journal is, but without contributions it does not exist. For the last couple of editions, the Journal has had a fair proportion of reminiscences of past adventures from the more aged members. We need contributions from those who are doing things now! It does not make any sense to publish a Journal with four or five articles. Maybe writing articles is a generational thing and now social media is the standard for the younger generation, I don’t know. What I do know is that the survival of the Journal in its current form is in doubt. It is in your hands.
