Big thanks to KateB for organising the annual visit to Borrowdale for the remembrance service on Great Gable. Lovely to be with friends old and new gathering to share food, make memories and pay their respects to those that lost their lives.

Thanks Kate for the effort to do this again, as usual it was a great success, and the best weather we've had up on the top.
As Paul said OD at its best.

Thanks Kate,it was a great weekend and to have your support as we climbed Great Gable was priceless. Lovely to meet everyone and yes, I might be back but not when it is quite so icy. I think a summer trip might be in order. Love from a softy southerner 😀

Once again many thanks Kate for organising this weekend, great to catch up with so many old friends, and meet so many new folks. This was OD at it's best sharing the hills with like minded people, long may it continue.

Thank you Kate for organising a great trip with my first walk up to Great Gable. I loved every minute of it. Thank you to everyone for making me feel so welcome. I am back in London now and and I am missing that landscape which is truly epic.

It is probably true to say that this has now become established as OD tradition.
Not everybody can make it every year but it is always great to see returning faces and new ones too.
Whilst the Sunday service is the main focus of the weekend, I am sure it is fair to say that it is everything around it that makes it special, 'everything around' refers to the people and their attitude. Ther willingness to contribute, assist and help each other.
Departing on Sunday always has mixed feelings, sorry that it is all over but elated at having seen people again and witnessed the magic of humanity at its best.
Thank you to each and everyone of you.
