Background

Durham Mountain Sports was founded by several of our current members who were previously members of other clubs and who decided that they would really prefer an outdoor pursuits club on their own doorstep. After a brief advertising campaign, they set the ball rolling in October 2003 with 22 members. In January of 2004 membership had risen to 42, by 2006 there were over 60 and so - calculates Phil - will include the entire population of Durham by 2012!
