Happy Memories

Everest Plas Y Nant c1960
Enlarge photo |  More about this photo

I first was introduced Plas Y Nant by The Rev. Ken D Beardsley who took a large group of us youngsters from the Methodist church in Menston Yorkshire in 1966.
We were there introduced to the the formidable, affectionately known As Aunty Lena. She was not really formidable at all and was dearly loved by all. Here I was lead with others up the the 'PYG' track to the the Snowdon summit by John Cantrill, hope I spelt that right John. It was trully a wonderful week. I did return several times after that and would love to here from anyone who remembers me.

RE: RE: Happy Memories

I remember a Jack Cantrell - would he be related to John that Keith Pitts was talking about? I remember Jack took some of us up Tryfan and we were slightly off the track on the way up and some other climbers told him he shouldn't have our degree of walkers on a path that was a bit too steep. However we coped OK and reached the top!

It seems to have vanished??? Great memories of Plas and Aunty Lena, a lovely lady. I spent a summer on staff in the late 50s.. Such fun.. My maiden name was Adlington.
