People in CU Hillwalking Club

Ben

Though he's never paid membership, Ben the koala has been our mascot since summer 1991, when he was rescued from a skip behind the Cluanie Inn in Glen Shiel and named after the nearby hills. As he heads towards the inevitability of old age, he has had surgery several times, but still manages to get out on the hills when the weather is nice.

Has made sporadic appearances over several generations of the club. A very useful person to have around if you find that some idiot has locked you out of the bunkhouse.

She might be disowned by her fellow Americans for hosting a Burns Night dinner in her year in Cambridge!
