2700ft - Snowdon - "1952 summer camp was held at the National Forest Park, Beddgelert. On Thursday the Seniors decided to attack Snowdon. We took the Pitt's Head Path and though our map-reading was put to the test, we managed to battle over knife-edges and steep rocky screes, in swirling cloud for the last thousand feet to the summit. Never has a cup of Bovril tasted so good and so comforting."

2 - Muggie (J Malcolm) Watson 49, elder brother of Jeff Watson who has contributed an article about boarding. JMW writes "I wonder where Mrs Armitage got [this photo] from because I don't have a copy. I think it was my first passport photo needed to go to the international Jamboree in Austria."
He adds "Muggie originated in Sutton Primary School, but I don't know why". Anyone know?
