Did Kielder yesterday, six of us. All was going smoothly till the end of our 1st lap, when one of the 2 Stueys came off the bermed wooden bit & ended up head first in the bog. Not a problem till he tried to extract himself & realised there was a serious problem with his left leg, like when he tried to move it he screamed. Luckily it’s near a fire road & the ambulance was soon there shortly followed by the chopper which soon had him off to A & E in Ashington. Later reports showed he’d broken his femur & is having it pinned today. Guess who didn’t take his camera cos I couldn’t be arsed to go upstairs to get it.
Big thanks to everyone who stopped & offered help, particularly the guy who left his fleece to keep Stu warm (we had a tinfoil blanket & numerous other stuff on him as well) Whoever you are matey, Steve’s got your number & will be in touch to get it back to you. An even bigger thanks to the medics, both ambulance & chopper crew, who were quickly on scene. I reckon we should do a sponsored ride now!
Get well soon Stu.
