LOGBOOKS
The 1993 - 1996 Logbook


For some of us the best of them all - this logbook is now in a state of extreme disrepair, due to two irresponsible social secs sticking lots of beermats into it and breaking its spine. Sorry!
Despite all this - its still with us, and yields up these fine offerings...




Craig's Blues, May 1994
Craig is a man of many talents, but songwriting is not a widely known one - here's proof that Mr Almond can feel the blues like the rest of us...

Points of Munro Bagging
The emergence of the Baggers as a distinct clique was well under way by now - this anonymous entry could either be a character assassination or a manifesto - you decide!

Footleg's Festering Grading System (and others)
Speaks for itself, really! Why should the energetic amongst us be the only ones with a difficulty rating system?
The whole rating system took off for a few months after this - here's another one, this time dedicated to what was at that time the only radio station a Marshalls minibus could pick up amongst the British mountains - the ubiquitous Atlantic 252...

Wasdale, May 1995
A fine trip, with excellent drinking successes against York Mountaineers as usual.
Joby found the drinking game a great excuse for pouring beer over one's head...

Glencoe, November 1995
Some leaders have very little luck sometimes. This was Mike's attempt to lead a low level walk at Glencoe, which had meant to involve hitching to Kings House and walking back from there. With a group of 8 women with him, he found the hitch impossible, and went on to suffer a day in Glencoe Village.
That evening Joby encountered the barman at a certain Scottish pub, who, for the second year running, took exception to something he was doing......... hence this extremely amusing cartoon...

Yorkshire Dales Crawl, November 1995
The infamous long-distance bar crawls were in full swing by this stage. A feature of these three days of devoted alcholism was the "beer tally" which was kept by the increasingly inebriated hikers. This one is is a particularly bad state, but is just about legible. It was found tucked inside the cover of the logbook...

Patterdale, January 1996
A great little weekend in the snow - braving blizzards at Brotherswater! As Colin, Sarah M and Mike found, freezing bouts of group insomnia can have inspiring effects - especially if there's a logbook to write in at the time!

...and finally
Scrawled inside the back cover of the logbook is a solitary email address, which actually turned out to be Email Dave's first email address. How a nickname can stick.......
