A happy bunch

A climbing weekend. The university climbing club. About to climb up the East side of Tryfan, in Snowdonia, North Wales. I am sitting second from the left. You see here a mix of professors, lecturers, students and one grandson (of the lady who took the shot!), 11 years old and the best climber of us all! This would have been in early 1978, The club was tiny - maybe a dozen members and it was called the SSEES Mountaineering Club, affiliated to the London University Mountaineering Club (SSEES = The School of Slavonic and Eastern European Studies - now part of University College, London). Great times were had by all, from memory! Originally posted in ipernity 2018.

Thanks, Nick!
Not the greatest quality shot! Taken with my Russian 35 mil camera. Even so, if I had taken the shot I think I would have focused it a bit better! But that's not important to me. As you say, it's the memories!

A great group photo, Andy. After some years, shots like this (whatever their imperfections, such as my latest) grow in value for the memories accompanying them - unlike most other images.
