Godfrey Jackson was a very keen mountaineer who had a particular love for snow, ice and winter climbing. He derived a great deal of pleasure from the climbing he did throughout the world and always had a keen interest in helping young people to climb. Godfrey was also a good friend and supporter of Plas y Brenin.
Following his death, Godfrey’s family have established a trust fund which will help young people between the ages of 18 and 23 to gain experience of snow and ice climbing so that they can further their mountaineering interest and skills. The training will be provided through the Mountain Training Trust and Plas y Brenin.
Each year 8 places will be available in Scotland on our
Scottish Winter Mountaineering course and 8 places in the Alps on our
Alpine Apprenticeship course. If you would like to be considered for one of these places complete the booking form at the back of the brochure and send it, together with a brief letter outling your mountaineering experience and why you would benefit from this opportunity, to the Godfrey Jackson Award at Plas y Brenin by the 12th December 2007 for the Scottish course and the 30th March 2008 for the Alpine course
