The BwB Journal 2025
This is the Sixth edition of the BwB Journal. My thanks go to all who have contributed articles, to Rob Woodall for proof-reading the content, and Mark Trengove for web-editing this year's Journal.
In this edition six articles appear. No particular overall theme emerges, and they make for some wide-ranging reading, including worldwide trip accounts.
First and foremost, I want to thank Mark Trengove for his sterling work over the last five editions of the Journal. Without his vision, patience and forward thinking BwB, this website and the Journal would not exist today.
Secondly, also a special thanks to all who have volunteered to fill various roles following Mark’s retirement from BwB. Your role and those who will volunteer in the future will be critical to keep this wonderful resource going now and into the future.
Between now and the 2026 edition of the Journal - to be published next autumn - if any of you have an interesting story to recount, please submit it for next year. Even stories of “failure” are wanted, as they are sometimes the most interesting - we all have had one or two non-summit attempts due to weather, illness, bad planning, forgotten essential kit or ... ?
I wish you all very happy (and most importantly safe) climbing/peak-bagging for the coming year 2026.
