I decided to visit the Great Gable Remembrance event for the first time, today.  Rather than do the Honister route with the others, I preferred to park at Seatoller and ascend via Brown Base & Green Gable with a view to meeting up and walking back with them. I left home at 5:10 and was parked up by 7:10. I walked as far as Taylorgill Force and decided to take a look at the cleft which splits the South East crag of Base Brown - see Wainwright BB p3. I climbed up through the cleft and all I will say is that I do not recommend this route to anyone, up or down - don't bother.
From the summit of BB (in cloud) I compassed my way to meet the Green Gable path and joined the procession towards the Gable summits. I reached Great Gable summit in good time and had a good walk round to keep warm, lots of folk were in porta-bivvies.  If I couldn't find the others, I was going to poke a few bivvies.  But soon enough I found the main OFC contingent.  After the two minutes silence, we took a look at the Memorial and then had lunch over by the Westmorland Cairn.  Richard Ratcliffe

Not always ideal conditions but a very worthwhile expedition. The misty conditions on the summit added to the emotion for me.  Those who have given such service to our country will never be forgotten.  Dave Dimmock
