+Wadders Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 (edited) Just heard from Jim, AKA the Woodbury Walker that whilst out doing some of my caches near Meldon Dam on Dartmoor, Jill (wife and "The Assistant") fell whilst imbetween caches and has broken her leg just above the ankle. A rescue mission by the air ambulance coordinated from RAF Culdrose had to be implemented but could not get near them, so she had to be strechered down the gully to where the Air Ambulance could reach her. I am sure you will all join me in wishing her a speedy recovery, i know how much she enjoys the outdoors and her caching. I am so sorry it was on one of my caches too best wishes and a speedy recovery Jill. Terry Edited May 6, 2007 by Wadders Quote

+Stuey Posted May 6, 2007 Posted May 6, 2007 I just heard the news, so sorry to hear that Jill had The Accident (Jim does her call Jill "TA" hehe)... Seriously though, I hope your leg fixes quickly and that you are out of pain and out and about again soon. In the mean time, I suggest an action plan.... Terry increases the terrain rating on his Meldon caches Woodbury Walker and TA start solving all the local puzzles from my HOMEWORK bookmark list in readiness for when you can go out again We start putting out lots of 1/1 drive by caches in the Exeter/East Devon area which involve nothing more than a short hop to the cache An event is hosted in honour of the Devon Air Ambulance (obviously not to do with no charity fund raising thing at all not ever never) GET WELL SOON!!!

Can I pay a tribute to Devon Air Ambulance who spent so much time on rescuing me from the impossible spot into which I fell? 'TA' Edited May 8, 2007 by Woodbury Walker Quote
Lactodorum Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 I suggest you sue any reviewer allowing any caches in the area to be listed, thus tempting you into walking there On second thoughts maybe that isn't such a good idea !!! I hope you have a speedy recovery. Peter Quote

+wheelybarrow Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Hi Jill Hope that you are soon up and about - at least you have got a good excuse at the moment for not going out in the rain. Incidentally some of the major supermarkets do very good microwave meals if you need some real food. Quote
+Molinnis Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 First time on the forums for a while so I hadnt heard about this. Hope you have a speedy recovery Jill and make sure you keep Jim on his toes looking after you. Quote
