1993 - Penine Alps Expedition Photos

An important part of the expedition was the training weekends leading up to the actual trip itself. These helped the team to learn, and bond, and allowed us to become familiar with each others little character quirks - important when you're going to spend two weeks in the mountains together!
This pic is from the 93 Cairngorm training weekend, and shows a bit of impromptu survival bag sledging. Not sure why it never made it to the winter olympics!

The expedition snowman. This became a bit of a tradition in the later trips. Always a novelty building a snowman in mid July! This one even had the pipe!
