Derek G. Lambley 1918 - 1982
Derek Lambley, who became a member of the Alpine Club in 1952, died suddenly in December, 1982. Although ill-health forced him to be more circumspect in recent years, he had since shortly before the Second World War been an enthusiastic and energetic climber and hill walker.
Derek was a surgeon of distinction. He held a senior post at Northampton General Hospital and travelled and lectured widely. Much of his overseas lecturing was done in North and South America and in 1954 he achieved the rare distinction of being made a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. One of his sons, Julian, who followed him into the medical profession, also became a keen climber and a member of the Alpine Club.
Preferring snow routes to rock, Derek made many ascents in the Alps, particularly in the Bernese Oberland. Many of his climbs were made with Oskar Ogi, the well-known Kandersteg guide, with whom he formed a long-standing friendship.
