Climbing the Cobbler
| S a sport, tramping gains more enthusiasts every year. With summer approaching, city buses to the nearest bush or ‘mountain range are crowded once more with husky pack-laden youths -and girls on their way ‘to: a’ week-end of clear mountain air, the tang of the bush, nights around a camp fire, and enough exercise to put most of us in bed for a week. In Scotland, tramping got a fillip during the depression years, when young people with no work to do escaped into the country to.climb mountains like the Cobbler, which raises its three peaks at the head of Loch Long. — Cobbler (or' Ben Arthur to give it its proper name) breaks no records in the way of height, but it is a symbol to Glasgow trampers. On its slopes and rock faces the working lads and lassies of Clydeside started the mountaineering clubs that have become so popular in recent years. The story of the Cobbler and its climbers is told in the BBC programme Poor Man’s Mountain; which 4YA will broadcast at 2.1 p.m. on. Sunday, November 215° ~~ * Fai
