Special Oblivion Seekers ( SOS ) As you will hopefully see through the development of our Photo Gallery, some of our older members involve them selves in adventurous trips ( I wont call them holidays !) fairly regularly. There exists an element within the Club termed " The Special Oblivion Seekers ( S.O.S.) for short. This steadily growing group involves itself in endurance activities without the frills. Recent trips have included :- 1. Barricaded in the Khumbu guesthouse for fear of gang attack - Namche Bazaar ( Nepal ) 2. Sleeping under an outdoor Restraurant table and chairs, tied up to a burglar alarm - in case of theft whilst asleep - Torremolinos Spain. 3. Being followed from Central Morocco to Southern Spain by " Mystery Man X " 4. Narrowly escaping from " 3 Ladyboys" in Benalmadena ( Spain) 5. Diving under the seat on a train journey in Bosnia, when someone pulled the emergency cord. 6. Falling asleep Whilst walking the Leicester Round (100 miles), and waking up at the edge of a river. The list is endless. However, perhaps the most frightening thing we have done is to go to the toilet in Laboche ( Nr Everest Base Camp) The toilet shook when you stepped into it ( see photo gallery) and it threatened to collapse into the 8 ft of human waste on which it was balanced - What a way to go !!!!! Past members have had to join the Gurkas or the 23rd SAS for a rest !. We will divulge more pictures and stories when you have had time to get used to us - watch this space !!!!!!!!
