January 2005 We stayed in a well appointed hut in Crainlarich and divided into two groups on the Saturday. The First left at dawn to do 3 Munros while the 'B' party settled for spectacular views of half of Southern Scotland from the summit of Ben Vorlich.June 2006 We stayed at Foulriggs Hut in the Lake District - most of us camping which was very midgy!! However a walk along part of High Street and back along the shore of Ullswater which ended in the pub was well worth it.
November 2005 Bonfire Night weekend we rented Black Sail Youth Hostel in Ennerdale which has no road access so we hiked in from various parts of the Lake District. Julia Richard and I arrived at 2am having forded a river, our way guided by the outside light Matthew had left on. The next day the Lake District lived up to its reputation as being one of the wettest places in the country which made for some amazing waterfalls and a few hardy souls (myself included) climbed Pillar in the mist. Fortunately it did dry up in the evening for so we were able to let off some fireworks!! After breakfast we went our seperate ways and on the way out it did clear up sufficiently for us to enjoy the Ennerdale valley in the day light

This is a nice brief taster of some of our activities - great! Other people could add their archives too. But adding images is a bit slow and they tend to jump about in the text. For a whole gallery of pictures, you could include a link to another web photo gallery - see http://help.blogger.com/bin/answer.py?answer=42084&topic=12453
for info on this.
