A few points of interest for you old time AQLs. I think I can see where we found the old sleeper. Also look at the height of the mound on the way down to the lower level, it's gone now, I wonder if it was bulldozed into that hole that keeps appearing? And these photos are from before we built the boulder hill berm. Also the original run into the parachute jump can be seen. Look at how small the gully (to the left of Nige) was . Think Jack Galloway probably took these photos.

Heard some of you where up there on Sunday in the snow and freezing cold, that's true enthusiasm. Nick, so far I've posted all the photo's from my collection and Tommy's collection, and some of what Adam gave me. Also some of Nige's, there're still some to follow. Borrowed a stack of photos off Ste which I am posting as I get around to scanning them. Mike Hill also gave me a good bunch of images which I am in the middle of posting.Yes it's Dan Not sure if it's Nick Clay, just thought it could be Nige from the bike.Will have to catch up this week while your bro is here.Gotta dash...Paul
Paul,Im almost positive the lad with the yellow pads and red jumper & cap is shaun! The little lad far right is my brother sam
Keith and Nick,Is that Graham on his Piranha with the yellow pads? And is that a Grifter with chopper forks and front wheel ? I seem to remember Scotty having a bike like that, I was impossible to wheelie, can you remember?

I seem to remember Scotty having a bike like that, I was impossible to wheelie, can you remember? I cant remember Shawn Manship up the Quarry, but I do now remember Scotty. They were both best mates for years though so maybe shawn did spend time up there. (I ve just remembered 2 Scottys...Shauns friend and andrew scott around our back. Which do you mean?Yes I remember the "impossible to wheelie" bikeI dont think the yellow pads is GG, the lad in the pick looks quiet tall and slim, where GG was a litter chubby bugger.The lad on the far right of one of those 2 pics is young spud, who used to ride in his blue trials overalls, and I think wellies.
