    EHIC. Go to the direct.gov website, it’s all on there and it should come through pretty quick. 10 min application.

    For travel insurance I’ve always used Direct Line but I get a discount cos I use them for my car insurance. You need to do it over the phone and specify MTBing as an activity but it’s still pretty cheap. They paid out about £30000 for me when I crashed in the Alps a few years ago, that included all the hospital treatment and the helicopter evac. I didn’t have an E111 either but the insurance guy just said “Oh don’t worry, we’ll sort out a retrospective one.”

    snowcard/activecard – choose your levels of cover. Set up for mountain sports and good value

    +2 snowcard.

    would recommend them to anyone having seen how they dealt with a mate who came off the hut jump at Les Gets many years ago. Nothing was a problem to them.

    we’ve gone for dog tags, never had to claim with them but offer good protection for the possibility of having to.
