His school sports are football and rugger but his real passion is mountaineering! To this interest he adds the specialty of outdoor living. Brian has shown a talent for drama by performing in Animal Farm and The Crucible and by working as assistant director for the junior play called Taran. His help, says D.D.L., was invaluable. Brian intends, with that marked independence which he has always shown at Ashbury, to take a year off to travel and, of course, to climb.
