No Picnic on Mount Kenya, but a Feast for the Alpine Club: John, Ian and Peter spent several years in Kenya during which a number of classic first ascents on the various summits of Mount Kenya and other African mountains were achieved. This presentation will be an overview of the routes on Mount Kenya and the contribution of AC members to their exploration to mark the re-publication of Felice Benuzzi's classic book 'No Picnic on Mount Kenya', which we hope will be available for purchase on the night.
