Only a month behind!

Since the Trainers Training session at Glenmore Lodge there have been three bike events, 0ne pony club horse trial, a three day trip to Rum followed by an overnight stay on Eigg and the Edinburgh Moonwalk.  The Rumm - Eigg trip was a holiday! I really am going to retire again, after the next Strathpuffer!!

12th - 13th May BDS at Nevis Range.  A busy weekend with sixteen casualties, most spectacular was a serious cervical spine fracture which was managed perfectly by the Rescue Medic guys on the hill.  Thankfully his spinal cord was intact and because of the faultless management it remained so.  The young man was evacuated to the Belford Hospital, scanned and transferred to Edinburgh.  Comments from Belford A&E and the Ambulance Service were very complimentary about the packaging and evacuation of the casualty.  A great result all round.

Sunday evening saw me driving back to the sunshine of the midge free east coast!  Bags unpacked and gear sorted, shower and bed.  Monday and an outing (not that sort!). This outing was the Parkinson's Support Group's annual bus trip, the venue this year, as displayed on't bus.  The bus does work though not operating while we were there, I understand the driver doesn't start until June!!
