Reminiscing together - 24 hours at Outward Bound

Guests met with instructors and the Head of Centre, went on a full tour of the Centre and also took a power boat across Ullswater to see the facilities at Outward Bound Howtown. Guests looked through archive materials and their own records, which brought memories and a sense of a unique shared experience to the fore. There was the opportunity to observe current groups on activity and attend and contribute to their end of course presentations. As well as eating and reminiscing together, some (very brave!) guests completed a jog and dip in some very inclement conditions! There was a great feeling of community in the group, which included, unbeknown beforehand, 2 gentlemen from the very first Ullswater course in 1955!

Like in Eskdale and Aberdovey, there was incredible participation from alumni, who quickly rekindled their OB spirit, joined in active discussions and were invited to consider supporting future generations of Outward Bound beneficiaries through a Gift in their Wills.
