We've really enjoyed looking back at our heritage this week, but we're a charity firmly focused on the future. And so today we're celebrating stories from today...
We'll start with Arianna, and how her course helped her through lockdown:

#OB80 ROYAL PATRON
To commemorate the contribution HRH The Duke of Edinburgh made to #OutwardBound - on the day of his funeral, instructors from across our centres climbed the three highest peaks in the UK to raise flags in his honour.

#OB80 OUR CENTRES
Which centre did you attend? We have six open today... @AberdoveyCentre @EskdaleCentre @UllswaterCentre @LochEilCentre, #Howtown and #OgwenCottage
Plus #MoraySeaSchool, #DevonOnAshburton and #Rhowniar that are gone, but fondly remembered by many.
#OB80 ROYAL PATRON
#OutwardBound was HRH The Duke of Edinburgh’s longest standing charitable commitment. He was Patron from 1953-2019 and saved us from collapse in the 1990s. Outward Bound UK wouldn’t be here without him.

#OB80 MOUNTAINEERING HERITAGE
Many participants remember supporting local rescue missions in the mountains as part of their course – here's an alumni’s account of a tragic rescue mission on #Scafell in 1966 from @EskdaleCentre. This is not an easy read... https://t.co/dXdL5RDSSF
#OB80 MOUNTAINEERING HERITAGE
We’re very lucky to have the support of Sir @ChrisBonington. One of Britain's best known mountaineers, Sir Chris spent two years instructing at #OutwardBound in the 1950s. He joined our board in 1997 and has been deputy patron since 2009.
#OB80 KURT HAHN
At #OutwardBound we still base our practices around Hahn’s Five Pillars. Our aim is to help young people to learn these qualities and use them back in the real world. We hope you'll enjoy reading our interpretation of them 80 years on: https://t.co/uwOeKzQy3t

#OB80 KURT HAHN
During the first lockdown, Nick, a senior instructor @UllswaterCentre wrote a blog based on Kurt Hahn’s writing on the five social diseases that surround young people... We think there's still plenty we can learn from Hahn. Do you agree? https://t.co/i5r0p6JsZY
#OnThisDay in 1941 the first #OutwardBound course began in @AberdoveyCentre. Since then over 1.2 million young people in the UK have completed one of our courses. We’ll be posting all week to celebrate our traditions and stories.
