Helen, Ben, Jamie, Tom and family

What greater honour that when a man moves forward he leaves behind in each of us the best of what he was.

From a time before even you knew him ……

Those days ….

On cliffs, in caves, on rivers on mountains

Alps, aiguilles, the Jorasses, the Dru

Causey, Cloggy, Scafell, Creagh Dhu

Hoys Old Man – no challenge for the young

Shared food and beer and fear and fun

Parties and girls and places we fought in

A teenage brotherhood never forgotten

I cherish those days but shed few tears now they’re gone

I remember, open my eyes, smile, love and go on.
