Yosser and Jean on Coniston Old Man in the lakes
Running the relay at the company sports day. Yosser was always a team player and you knew he'd try his hardest for the team.
Hockey became a big part of Yosser's life. As did that T shirt?
Bit of a blurry photo, but this is Yosser trying to figure out which is the front end of a horse.
A quick snack before we go out to find some snow to play in.
One of our earlier climbs in the Lake District. Could that be the shirt?
Dave Larner's stag night. Left to right of those visible, Yosser, Tommo, Pete, ?,Malc, Joe, Dave, Harpo and Alan.
Here's that T shirt going climbing at Hen Cloud.
Another misty day in the Lake District with Joe, Gabrielle, Gareth and Jean.
Snacking in between climbs. Paul, Gabrielle, Yosser and Gareth.
Anyone recognize Yosser? Maybe the shirt is a give away?
Weather is too cold to climb? Must be time for an ice cream! Yosser and Durk
Moving in day at number 20. Yosser, Jean and Joe.
The moving crew, Sally, Mrs Cardwell, Rob (me), Jean, Yosser (the T shirt was the give away right?), Steve and Joe.
The garden didn't stay that way for long. Soon it had a good trimming and rows of veg.
The Frog Eyed Sprite moves in to the garage.
Waiting for the sun to come out at Almsclif, Yorkshire. Sometimes it takes a while. Sally, Gareth. Durk, Yosser and Pete.
Ever patient and prepared, Yosser waits for the rain to stop with Ralph, Gareth and Ian.
Yosser and Gabrielle figure any time is a good time for an ice cream.
Yosser posing at Tremadach.
Snack time at the crag. Coffee and bean sandwichs - yummy!
Not climbing or playing hockey? Time for some DIY. Fixing the garage roof. Did the Frog Eye move?
While I was off on a business trip my fence blew down. Yosser came over and fixed it. That was yosser!
At ease in a field.
Ralph, Sebina, Yosser and Alan. All cleaned up for Ian and Julia's wedding.
Sally, Charlie, Jean and Yosser at one of the parties at my place.
Yosser and John not at all the worse for wear.

And puzzling over the guidebook back in his natural environment. Yosser, Gareth, jean and Gabrielle at Malham cove.
Ever since I joined FARL, I knew Yos would make it to the top, the big office.
Probably the best memory of my first years at work. A FARL team photo for Comic relief
on one of my first climbing trips with Yos, to the peaks at Lawrancefield
Yos... always the curious engineer ! This time preparing for the next days skiing
Malcome Holbrooke , Yos and myself on the Meday, at Teston Lock
Yos showing one of his many sporting talents on the FARL Ski trip
Yos, Rob, Gareth, Steve Robin, myself (Steve Small) and others, that were passionate enough to drive to Southend climbing wall every week. Note the fashion styles and the boots.
Yos, Rob, Alan and myself hiking in the Lakes and probably trying to find the crag.
Yos showing his theatrical makeup skills to John Malthouse
...and also doing a little theatre too. Here in the Hollingbourne panto. Yes he is the one on the left (sorry about the fuzzy photo)
Yosser the Inventor....

Bottom L to R. R Smith, Dave L, Darrall Hicks, Yosser, Mike Banner, S Cheetham.
Venue: Deangate Ridge, Hoo
Classic Yosser. In the first round Yos has his kneecap broken. Game is void and opposition claim the match! This forced us into the plate competition. By the time we reach the final Yosser is fixed and we go onto win the club’s first national trophy.

I make no apologies for Yos, Joe and Tommo's (me) Drag Race. I was runner-up. The winner had a beard. Skiing in La Thuile, Italy 1985
Big kiddie, just after making snow angels. La Thuile 1985.
I seem to have hundreds of climbing pics even though I only did 2 or 3 years with Yos and the gang and had to be very picky. They were great times. My only advantage was being long and light but Yos really went for it and had power and determination. Obviously a hot shirtless day at Harrison's or possibly High Rocks. Rob's shirt is only partially there.
Yos never went for easy moves but Harrisons is very round and slippery
Stanage
Ice axes on chalk. Not a safe combination with all that flint
This is about as scary as Yos ever got. What a nice chap.
Tooled up and walking in, I think to Langdale. There's that shirt again
Good times. Harrison's again, I think
Seems to be singing. Should be concentrating on the idiot on the other end of the rope. Shirt yet again.
There is always time for just one more before the sun sets.
Some more recent hiking photos. Exploring the i-90 corridor in Seattle
Could those be the sunglasses?
Snacks at the top.
Our kids loved hiking with Yosser. He was always more fun that their boring parents.
Amazing what you can find while hiking. For instance a full bottle of whisky!
Smores in the back garden
You could never accuse Yosser of being a fair weather hiker. Lunch in a cave while hiking in shorts in 6" of snow.
