The annual Mountain Mind Quiz is a chance for clubs to pit their knowledge against each other in competition for a trophy, with all proceeds going to a good cause: Tayside Mountain Rescue. This year it was organised by Ancrum Mountaineering Club, and we sent a team along to the Queen's Hotel with no real expectations other than a bit of fun.
Suffice it to say, we were woefully unprepared for how tough the quiz would be, enjoyable though it was, and we were duly and justly rewarded with the "Well, thanks for coming guys" booby prize, the Mountain Mind boot.
So, yeah: a bit of preparation might be in order before next year!
Congratulations to Forfar and District Hillwalking Club who were this year's winners, after fighting it out with Breadalbane Rock and Ice in the final.
it is possible to win, I was on the DURC winning team in 1994!
ReplyDeleteI think that was a pretty special team. By contrast, would guess we had 100 Munros between us and Corbetts in single digits...
