The Hertfordshire Mountaineering Club was formed in 1958, by Peter Spence, together with Robin King, Geoff Clough, Herrick Thwaite, Reg Boot, Graham Brown and Graham Daniels. They originally met in Peter Spence's house in Shephall, Stevenage, but in 1960, moved to the Marquis of Lorne, Stevenage Old Town, where they were joined by Tim Farnell, Bob James and Ian Robinson.
The first Annual dinner was held in the Roebuck, Stevenage, and shortly afterwards the club moved to the Station Hotel, Knebworth, where they were welcomed by Sam, the landlord. During the early sixties, Hugh Chapman, Richard Watts and Ian Borrowman joined the club.
