Sympathies go out to Rob Patton, who was enjoying himself so much on Caddon
Bank this afternoon that he decided to make a new route straight down the
hill collecting an open fracture of his left forearm in the process (what
are those bones called Lee? tib and fib?). He was really brave about it and
walked himself down the hill to the waiting ambulance before being wisk'ed
of to borders general where I suspect he will be staying until monday.
Pictures will no doubt be available soon for the blood thirsty and strong of
stomach.
Cheers Tim
Lessons for today:
1. Don't let people go off on their own, its was 5 minutes before we
realised he wasn't coming back up for another go at the drops :-(
2. When you are feeling really confident and skillful is the time when you
are most likely to fall off and hurt yourself :-)
