Injured in the name of caching


Recommended Posts

Posted (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 :blink::wub:

best wishes and a speedy recovery Jill.

Wishing Jill (TA) a speedy recovery. Hope it won't be long before you are back on your feet.

 

All our love to you and Jim

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....

  1. Terry increases the terrain rating on his Meldon caches :wub:
  2. Woodbury Walker and TA start solving all the local puzzles from my HOMEWORK bookmark list in readiness for when you can go out again :blink:
  3. 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 :wub:
  4. 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) :wub:

GET WELL SOON!!!

Make a speedy recovery, but look on the bright side :(. You've got all the time in the world to sit in front of the PC solving caching puzzles, whilst the O/H does all the house work ;):(

:blink::(:D Thank you all for your kind wishes. I shall hate being out of action so long and I am not sure I am looking forward to WW pushing me in a wheel chair.

 

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?

I suggest you sue any reviewer allowing any caches in the area to be listed, thus tempting you into walking there :blink:

 

On second thoughts maybe that isn't such a good idea :( !!! I hope you have a speedy recovery. Peter

IAlthough we have not met on our travels - I remember a close call at one of my caches. I hope you make a swift recovery and look forward to meeting you out and about in the not too distant future.

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.

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.
