You mentioned a few bros drove up to the Lakes 1969. So why wasn't this the first year? (Nev, Pete?) I have been talking to John Corden again and he went on the 1970 expedition. John recalls the following bros attending:
Himself
Pete McCormack
Martin Phipps
Chris Lisher
Haskel
Peterson
The late Charlie Brown
Geof Tricker
Later years:
The late Phil Holiday?
Brian Phipps?
Roy Dean?
Tony Moss?
Graham Clarke?
These bros would have made a full load in the 8th Worthing mini-bus with Neville driving. I recall when bros passed their driving tests they sometimes took their cars.
PS On my 'toast' day I did swim in Bassenthwaite Lake. It was very refreshing and I noticed quite a alot of algae when swimming underwater! The water was very cold so I did not stay in long.
PPS Anyone want to buy my boots for £15. I am going to try and sell them in Friday-Ad!
