Dr James Philiips AKA Dr Lurrrve/ The Cherry Popper

This is the team Dr, a genuine bona fide qualified Dr, of what we are not 100% sure, maybe animal husbandry, once we know we will tell you. James had an unfortunate reputation with the ladies, but he is married these days and the thumb print is firmly in place on the forehead. James has not been spotted in SE London in a long time, not sure why, but it may be related to his younger more red blooded days.
A proper climber is James, but as yet has not scaled the massive peak that is Dungeness Lighthouse, something that we hope will change in the summer.

James is known to drink pretty much anything but is particularly partial to anything with fresh cherries!

Team Member: John Johnson aka Three Cheeks

Three cheeks, as is he has become known, is well known for his penchant for throwing his clothes off at a moments notice, has streaked for the Chief Scout of Austria!!!
Has a habit of visiting Wales and coming home with odd shaped stones, this has been going on for many years, he claims they are for his replica Stonehenge that will be in his back garden, to date bugger all has happened in the back garden. Famously was seen with a rather phallic looking rock inserting it into a crevice on Pen Y Fan! the said rock was named by John 'the rock of gash'. Took a lead part in the dance round the virgin on the summit of Pen Y Fan and as a driver always like being asked if he wants a mint, in fact he will be offended if you don't ask him. The name 3 cheeks is surrounded by legend but if you ask the man himself he will show you how he got the name.

Team Member: Andy Bitch - Team Minister and philosopher

Andy Bitch, AKA the Boris Johnson lookalike, is most known for his philosophical skills, and is the minister of the team who conduct's the pre-meal grace.

One of his finest moments was his first grace on Cader Idris when he preached "for the food we are about to eat....I'll see you later". He duly lived up to his words later that evening.

Andy (Boris) teaches the rest of the team the art of falling over, "alternative" disco dancing, and even invented the Smirnoff Ice skirt (pictured) the most vital piece of mountain rescue equipment ever invented.

Boris is also a master at pub quizzes, answering every question "JR Hartley".

Team Member : Matt Aucott - Driver/Lightweight Drinker/Bacon Burner

This is Matt, one of our team members, his main expertise is driving long distances whilst listening to 80s pop. Matt has become a legend for his own way cooking the bacon butties after a night on the juice, the frying pan usually catches fire and the flames are a sure sign that the butties are ready for the hordes. Unfortunately Matt does not have a large capacity for imbibing alcohol. On his stag weekend young Matt locked himself in the mini bus for the night rather than suffer the usual events.
Matt was a pioneer of our night frisbee session in South Wales, despite his relative inability to stand up straight.
