Patterdale

We drove up to the Lake District today to attend "a gathering of friends," which followed the funeral service of perhaps my closest friend over the past 35 years. I estimate there were 130 people there, and a lot of reminiscences' were exchanged.
Pete had achieved a lot in his very full life, a member of Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team for 35 years, worked for the Outward Bound as an instructor, plus many other duties.
I met Pete at Glenmore Lodge in Aviemore, on a Cross Country Ski course, we got on well and our friendship carried on from there.
We did all manner of activities over years, the highlight for me was 4 days snow -holing and Ski touring on The Cairngorm Plateau in Mid Winter.
I was proud to be a small part of the support team running sections of the Bob Graham Round when Pete completed it.
That is a very small part of my friendship with Pete, Joan, and their family. 
R I P.  Pete.
