Re: Ann Maden - very sad news.

Our sincere condolences to Bruce Maden and Family on the passing of Ann Maden. She was certainly one of the bravest and indomitable persons we've ever known. Her aid and devotion to the Challenge was prime. Phyllis and I treasure our friendship with her.

Re: Ann Maden - very sad news.

What very sad news and what a brave lady. We were full of admiration how she kept on keeping on - she will be very much missed and we send great sympathy to Bruce and his family.

Re: Ann Maden - very sad news.

I first met Ann at Tarfside in 1998. Later in the evening I received some very bad news from home. She gave me great support, sympathy and kindness and that is something I will remember for the rest of my days. Thankyou Ann. May you rest in peace.

Re: Ann Maden - very sad news.

Returned from holiday on the west coast to learn this very sad news.

I can't recall a crossing when I didn't pass through Tarfside and call at the hostel to be looked after by Ann and her friends there - always so welcoming, and such a pleasure to be fed and watered with a smile after the hike to get there.

She and the ladies will always be synonymous with my memories of the Challenge, and especially of Tarfside.

Deepest condolences to Bruce, from Steph and myself.
