Afternote

2008 matched 2007 in terms of number of walks and exceeded it in mileage, due in part to the two LDWA events undertaken and the training for them.  Height climbed was lower, reflecting the very poor summer causing us to keep lower than might otherwise have been the case.

For the latest totals of the mileages, heights and Lakeland Fells Books Wainwrights see: Wainwrights.

BOOT boys

This pages describe
adventures of BOOTboys,
a loose group of friends
of mature years who enjoy defying the aging 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!
