Ramblers Association - Monklands Group
10th Anniversary Memoirs and Poems
In 1995 The Monklands Ramblers celebrated their 10th anniversary. To recognise this milestone the club produced a booklet of memoirs and poems written by its members. Due to popular demand, these almost legendary pieces of literature are now reproduced in full below. They are published on the web in exactly the same order and format in which they originally appeared. They capture the true spirit and ethos of what it means to be a "Monklands Rambler"……
