Great Gable Remembrance Sunday Weekend...
I know that some of you are still there in that marvellous Borrowdale Hostel, but huge thanks are due to Kate for organising such a vibrant weekend, full of friendship and warmth. There was such a communal feeling at Great Gable's summit yesterday, which helped to combat the cold!
Thanks, also, to Stephen for leading the Glaramara walk on Saturday - one of the best Lakes walks I've ever been on.
It was lovely to see everyone and to make some new OD friends. Perfect!

My first OD weekend for a very long time, enjoyed every minute. Good to meet friends old and new. Thanks to Kate for impeccable organisation, as always, and Stephen for the walks we did on Friday, Saturday and Monday, and to everyone for being there to share special times. Magnificent views across Lakeland and beyond all weekend and a dusting of snow, what more could a girl want?
Adding my thanks to Kate and all for another excellent and commemorative weekend. You%u2019ve all already written the words I feel too xxx
Thanks to you all for making the weekend such a special event. To all who mucked on on Friday not only with food contributions but also with help both before and after in the kitchen. Indebted yet again to Stephen for leading such great walks and his wonderful lakes knowledge and Len for making sure all our members were safe.
My thanks to the OD family, no matter whether you just joined or are an old friend, the wonderful OD spirit continues and helped support me at a time of need. Thank you all x
🙂
Yes ... how could I have missed Trekkie out of my thanks. I agree with others, Len was always looking out quietly for others and used his experience of the area invaluable. Really appreciated! 🙂
Thanks Kate for organising and all who made it a really lovely weekend, great meeting new friends and seeing old ones too.Thanks for Stephen for Saturdays walk , a pleasure all the way round.
Look forward to the next adventure .special thanks to the canine members for the joy, laughter, excitement and wet paws they always bring, must remember to bring mine next time.
Oh and a special thanks to Stephen for his knowledge and mountain skill, guiding a select pair of us from Honister on a route which ended with a 150 foot, three point contact, scramble up slippy snow covered rock.... I loved it!!
Everything was great for body, soul and spirit. There was a lovely energy from the place and the people. I really enjoyed meeting you Kate and thank you for all your effort!! Thanks to Trekkie as well, your quiet and confident care of the flock was noticed
As always this weekend based at Borrowdale never disappoints.
Thanks to Kate for letting me crash the meal at the Langsgrath last minute.
And to all who attended and made the Sunday walk up Gable so special.
We have lost some of our own this year , our thoughts were with them all.
Well said Bea. A wonderful weekend as always. Two fabulous walks and perfect to top it off. Thanks to everyone who contributed and for the wonderful company. Not the same without you all.
Perfect. Three good walks. So glad I arrived in time for the Friday wander to perfect my skills for night walking. Great company. Yummy food. Thanks Kate. We should do it again. 😀
Next year??
Quality OD weekend,thanks to everyone. Great Gable is so atmospheric for the occasion of Remembrance Day.
I feel a poem coming on CD.....Yes was a lovely walk yesterday really poignant this year but great to be out in glorious conditions with good pals. Thanks Kate for bringing it all together.
