I had failed to read your Blog post about her dying. <br /><br />Catching up with things today I was shocked.<br /><br /><br />She certainly did make her mark in the Bree Louise and if people were fortunate enough to meet her, she make her mark on them too.<br /><br />Jane was a character. I was fortunate to meet her a number of times and each time was memorable.<br /><br />She could be feisty, she could be friendly, she never let you forget who she was. <br /><br />Her enjoyment of life came across in many ways and she made the Challenge much more interesting for being there.<br /><br />I too will smile at some of the memories .............<br />Gordon Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06955685488317618975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-45128043516905243522015-01-30T19:45:21.643+00:002015-01-30T19:45:21.643+00:00Actually, I should have made it clear that I have ...Actually, I should have made it clear that I have taken one of Ian Cotterill's pictures (see <a href="http://alansloman.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/tgo-challenge-2012-day-10-braemar-to.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>) of Jane & me at Callater Lodge, and trimmed it down quite a bit, editing out distracting logos and turned it into a B&W shot.<br />We all know that our Ian's a demon for the electric water.<br />:-)<br />When I think of Jane I always smile - she had that effect on people.Alan Slomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17966543499033330765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22496677.post-6454055965110065712015-01-30T18:11:38.150+00:002015-01-30T18:11:38.150+00:00I note from that photo that she is looking at you ...I note from that photo that she is looking at you rather suspiciously, with her left hand firmly clamped over her whisky glass; obviously recalling your propensity for stealing her stimulants.

She was feisty. Backpacking was a hobby she only started late in life, but you could tell that she adored a Challenge. I'm sad to hear this news.
