After a conversation with a colleague I was just wondering if anyone knows if Alan and Adrian are related to George and Thomas, as they are all from Leeds'ish, as I understand it?

In reply to Mark Collins:

Alan and Adrian are from Holmfirth.

Both live and have lived in the states for a long time. Alan in Salt Lake City and Adrian somewhere in Colorado.

Bumped into Alan in Nepal back in 96 up past Ghunsa on the Kangchenjunga trek then had a few nights out on the juice with him in Thamel. Bumped into him again in Awesome Walls Stockport 3 years ago !

Cool, nice story.

Saw Alan at the Roaches about a decade ago leading someone up the classics (Matinee and Saul's Crack) as I recall.

In reply to Mark Collins: Saw them both about three years
ago in Cham. I think they visit quite regularly. Still as friendly as ever.
