Phil arrived home. A note had been
left in the car park as a reply, they realised they must have missed each other by
minutes. The others had got to Stanage End after a long walk, and ascended 3
difficult climbs. After leaving Stanage: they had left the note, gone to Outside, and then
finding it closed, headed over to the Plough Inn. Everybody had caught up on gossip
and had a consummate day. |

Yes another year over, for the HMC at least. A
reminder that your membership fees are due from 1st January 1998. Send your cheques for
£10, payable to HMC, to me, or is that the other way round. Remember that on popular
meets paid up members will take precedence, could this be a beds for bribes scandal in the
making
The active membership continues to grow. Thanks to the advertising we are continuing to
attract new members; welcome to the club.
Finally...I've been told by a certain young lady not to take things so seriously.
Do de de de do da da da is all I want to say to you... |

The BMC has created an electronic notice board on their
web site (www.thebmc.co.uk) to help reduce traffic via the use of lift sharing and the use
of public transport.
The threat of a funicular railway still hangs over the northern Cairngorms. The Highland
council have given planning permission, the fate of the development rests with the
Cairngorm Chairlift Company, and if they can secure enough public and private funding. The
BMC are urging us to write to our local MP and to make representation to the Scottish
Office and Treasury that this project should not obtain public funding.
The BMC has negotiated access to Chain Gang Wall at Pen Trwyn. Witches Quarry a
naturally protected Limestone quarry in Lancashire, offering routes from Severe to E4, has
been re-opened after a 15 year ban. |

Through the darkness there came brightness
Its tendrils imbuing texture, shadow and form
The light brought with it the warmth of cuddle,
And life began to uncurl from its muddle
Dawn had eased away the duvet of the night
No longer was the man blind and sightless
