After yesterday's tough run Debbie and I decided a nice long lie and a walk up Conic Hill would be a nice way to relax today. After three lovely bacon sandwiches (in my bed and made by Debbie) and an hour of Jeremy Kyle we at last started to get our stuff together. At that moment I received a call out from the Mountain Rescue. A woman had broken her leg on yes you guessed it, Conic Hill.
When we got to Conic Hill we were stood down as a paramedic helicopter was dispatched to fly her off the hill and the Mountain Rescue was no longer needed. Debbie and I were joined by Joe from the MR team for the walk up the hill.
At the top we found that the paramedic helicopter was still there and had broken down. So the woman had to be rescued by a Sea King helicopter. Ever felt that you have been in the right place at the right time. Well this was one of those days as I took photos of the helicopter and sold one to the Daily Express with the money being donated to our charity. The Yorkhill Childrens Foundation. All good.

Great pictures. Guess who was on Conic Hill on Sunday. We were...
But there were no helicopters and there was no sun either :-)
See you on Saturday!
Hi Tom,
Sounds like you were up in the morning then. You should have taken it easy, breakfast in bed and watched Jeremy Kyle. We had lovely weather on the hill in the afternoon. Pity it was still freezing though.
See you Saturday.
