Young Patrol, Eskdale 1965
A Memory of Eskdale Green.
As an Essex Police Cadet I went to the Eskdale Outward Bound Centre in 1964/65 where I was subsequently elected the leader of Young Patrol. Every morning between 6-7am we were woken and had to run down to the lake and jump off the jetty into the lake, often having to break the thin ice, then climb out and run around the lake and back to the residential block for a hot shower, before breakfast. The keep fit regime, trekking expeditions along Wasdale Head and Fell running soon made us very fit, we learnt rock climbing and snow safety skills the latter on Great Gable. I have wonderful memories of my Outward Bound experience.
