A Thorn Amongst Roses

It need not concern us here how Terry came to be invited on Reg Pillinger’s ‘Private’ meet at the Downes Hut for those who had made guidebook contributions over the years, earlier this week, having never made a contribution himself.

The team left the Downes Hut Tuesday morning, heading for Froggatt. For the first time in recent history Terry is actually the youngest member present!!
