I went as an instructor with a group from Southfield's School, Kettering on a training expedition to Glencoe during Easter of 1998.  We took five XI form girls attended this training,
but the picture does not show just how cold Easter 1998 was in Glencoe !!!

The Group was training for their successful Gold Expedition which was in Kenya
during Summer 1998
