As you can see from the map this walk never got finished. I slipped on some wet grass fracturing my Fibula and Tibia. Thus becoming Keswick mountain rescues first case of the new year.
I would like to thank the total strangers that heard my calls for help and stayed with me for two hours making sure I was as comfortable as possible until help arrived. I would also like to thank the professionalism and skill of the crew of the Lancashire Air Ambulance helicopter and the members of the Keswick Mountain Rescue teams that came to my aid and managed to get me safely to Barrow Hospital. Of course I also need to thank all the staff who cared for me and put me back together.
I now have six weeks before I can put any weight on my leg and perhaps another six months before I will be fit enough to get out on the fells again
We are so lucky to have these people looking over us. I hope you never need them, but if you do take it from me they are absolute heroes.
