1937 with the JHC's first chairman
What better time than the 75th anniversary of the Johannesburg Hiking Club to reflect back to the 1937 era when Maximilien des Ligneris was the first chairman of the club. These photos have been submitted by Mike des Ligneris, Maximilien's grandson. Recognise anybody, if so email me: [email protected]
Click for enlargement.
Mike des Ligneris has sent the JHC a letter and has submitted photos of his grandfather's days with the Johannesburg Hiking Club.

Interesting how the 2nd World War reduced the number of hikers left at home.

Hence the preponderance of females.!
