Alistair Dykes, a.k.a. Dixie, was at Lendrick between 1975 and 1978.
Alistair loved climbing, went out with Maggie McNamarra.

"Alastair Dykes (Dixie), from Bearsden in Glasgow. Another really sound bloke. A Partick Thistle supporter, that says it all. A really experienced mountaineer, a talented sportsman and a good scholar. As decent and selfless a person as as I ever met. I thank him for helping to save my life when I suffered from exposure and exhaustion in the Cairngorms. Bisto stayed with me in the emergency tent to keep me warm while Alastair Dykes (Dixie) went for help. If I had been with less competent guys I might not have made it. Thanks guys."
