Re: Remote Control Rescue

Glad that you made it off safely. Fantastic read and thank you because I learnt a lot from it.

Would you think of posting this story on the MCOS website. They have page for mountain rescues to help others learn from your experiences. http://www.mcofs.org.uk/mountain-safety-lessons.asp
