Bryan's yesterdays

The original Bob Graham photo on top of Skiddaw (taken at 01:23 am on 17th June 1989) featuring Stan and me flanking Vince Devlin.

March 1990, when I used to take a few people out for a run on a Saturday mornings.  A young Mark Pilkington in front, Ian in camouflage gear at the rear but who are the two in the middle?

This page contains archive photos from the youthful days of BOOTboys, a loose group of friends of mature years who enjoy defying the ageing process by getting out into the hills as often as possible!

As most live in South Lakeland, it is no surprise that our focus is on the Lakeland fells and the Yorkshire Dales.

As for the name, BOOTboys, it does not primarily derive from an item of footwear but is in memory of Big Josie, the erstwhile landlady of the erstwhile Burnmoor Inn at Boot in Eskdale, who enlivened Saint Patrick's Day 1973 and other odd evenings many years ago!
