Bernard Morris 1944 - 2024 rip

Goat Fell 2017

It was with great sadness that we learnt Bernard passed away on 22nd October 2024.


Bernard had been ill for about 18 months and after being diagnosed with cancer he had a bout of Covid at the end of 2023.He was being cared for at home by his son and wasn’t well enough to go out very much.In October he had a nasty chest infection and breathing difficulties which required hospitalization. Unfortunately he didn’t recover.

Club Social Event 2019

Bernard joined the Ramblers about 20 years ago and then the Committee about 10 years later.He took a very active part in the Club enjoying Saturday and alternative Sunday walks initially.A few years later he joined the Wednesday group and participated in all the long distance trails including leading sections of each one.  Youth hostelling 3 times a year in Snowdonia, The Lake District etc., introduced him to a love of the mountains and he went on to organise these long weekends. Bernard was also instrumental for the change to hotel holidays and travelling by coach.
Saturday excursions were popular for a few summers on days when the weather forecast was good.  Bernard arranged for a group of us to drive to places a little further afield and spend the day tackling Snowdon, Cadair Idris, Hay Buff, Ystradfellte amongst other routes.

Brixham 2022

Brixham 2022

Bernard made many friends in the Ramblers and those who knew him well, remember the good times we spent together enjoying our love of the great outdoors. 


Bernard is sadly missed.

Tony's fundraiser for Dementia

Tony and Dawne Jackson, Ex Halesowen Rambler members.

Hi, Tony Jackson here. Dawne my Wife of 59 years has dementia and I am her full time carer. Dementia is a horrible condition which gradually takes away her dignity and mental capacity.

I want to raise money for Dementia UK by doing a sponsored walk up Caer Caradoc (1500ft) which is in Shropshire. It will be a challenge since I am 83 years 

Hi, Tony Jackson here. Dawne my Wife of 59 years has dementia and I am her full time carer. Dementia is a horrible condition which gradually takes away her dignity and mental capacity.

I want to raise money for Dementia UK by doing a sponsored walk up Caer Caradoc (1500ft) which is in Shropshire. It will be a challenge since I am 83 years old with a heart pacemaker fitted but I am confident, and will be walking with one or two of my younger family.

The walk will take place on May 11th or 12th, and is 5 miles long or may be extended to 7 miles depending on the route taken. I hope to raise at least £300 so can you please donate as little or as much as you can to help me to help these charities. All donations will go to the charity.
