making up with old friends

Anyone got any good advise in ways to make up with old friends

It really depends what it was that stopped you being friends! If it was just a matter of growing apart, it could be as simple as starting the dialogue - sending them a message or letter or call to ask how they're doing. Let them know you still think about them. Don't expect things to go back to exactly how they were before, and you can let them know that you don't expect to, but tell them that they are important, and you'd like them to be at least a part of your life again.

Like has been said before, it depends on what happened to make you stop being friends. If you simply grew apart, or moved away, or something of the sort, it could be as simple as starting a conversation with them again. But, the way you phrased it, I doubt that this is the case. If there was a fight, or something that happened that ended your friendship, the first thing that needs to happen is an apology. Tell them that you'd like to be friends again, and leave the past behind. Keep in mind though, they may accept it, or they may reject your offer of friendship. And it's not your fault, or your problem, if they do reject it, and there's nothing you can do to change their mind if they reject it. I wish you the best of luck, but keep in mind that they're not guaranteed to want to be friends again. I hope that they do, for your sake, but they may not, and you need to be prepared if that happens too.

Think of some activity that you both like to do. Call him and ask if he wants to do it. It's less awkward then just asking ... wanna be friends again?

I'm trying to do that - moving away and returning to your old life is definitely hard!
Usually I'd just leave them a message, have a chat and see what they've been up to, try and organize a get-together with people. It's easier with a group, sometimes it's a little awk one-to-one especially if you aren't the best at sparking up a good conversation. Figure something out to do that's fun and lasts long enough is always the hard part :/
