Thread: A cautionary tale

Cheers everyone. I'm recovering well. 4 nights in hospital so far, but think I'll be able to get out soon & finish recovering at home. Managed to walk today for the first time since Wednesday with my trusty zimmer frame.

Yeah @223nut having to stay overnight was the one thing I wasn't prepared for. If I'm doing longer day trips I do take enough gear in case I need to stay overnight, but as this was planned to be a super short 2-3hr trip I hadn't bothered this time. But the big thing I'm glad I had is the PLB, even though I didn't use it. It definitely provides some piece of mind for both me & my partner. Just wanted to post this to remind people that even super short 'casual' trips need to be prepared well. It is easy to get complacent on those short trips.
