Plans for the future include—dare I say it?—the new Lamborghini Jarama, though if, as is rumoured, Lamborghini is taken over by Ford ... —but we shall see what we shall see. R.F.H.

WALKING GROUP The Walking Group has continued to flourish this Term and judging by numbers wishing to join at the beginning of Term, is increasing in popularity. Although we were restricted by Athletics early on we have since had a number of interesting walks; along the cliffs from Bridlington to Flamborough; to Terrington; and to Skipwith Nature Reserve where we were fortunate not to lose one of our members; also several others. The most strenuous walk of the Term was to Captain Cook's Monument and Rosebery Topping near Great Ayton; these presented quite a challenge as it entailed us climbing two 1,700 ft hills in under one and a half hours. Most unexpectedly we were rewarded by the kind hospitality of Mrs. Dodd afterwards. In addition to our walking activities we have lent our support to the 1st XV when they played at home—it was hoped they might return the compliment, but so far this has not materialised. Finally, with memories of sheep tracks, exhaustion and a rather dampened soccer team, we hope that next Term's group will enjoy themselves as much as we have done and get some opportunities for sledging.

I MOUNTAINEERING CLUB The Club has had an active Term with expeditions to Kentmere, Borrowdale and Langdale. KENTMERE MEET At the end of September the Club went away after Saturday afternoon games, reaching Malham by early evening. Since there were still some hours of daylight left, we paid a quick visit to Gordale Scar. This impressive gorge and waterfall had defeated us earlier in the year when it was snow and ice-bound, but on this occasion we had our revenge. Having worked up an appetite we went to Malham Youth Hostel. The gallon of mushroom soup at our disposal proved too much for us alone and we had to summon help to do it justice. On a wet and misty Sunday morning we left for Kentmere. The mist didn't finally clear until we had climbed Kentmere Pike and were on route for Harter Fell. Slowly at first, and then with what seemed to be indecent haste, the clouds lifted revealing some breathtaking views of III Bell and Froswick at the far side of the Kentmere valley. 29
