I reckon! Did you have a PLB? Or a sat phone?? Or did someone have to go for help??
Nothing to see here.

I had a PLB, had to get off the range to get out though, weather was too rough for them to fly in. It goes to show that it pays to be prepared for anything to happen.

Yeah I hobbled down on one leg using a stick as a walking pole. Do you have your own PLB or do you hire one?

I have my own. Do a fair bit of solo walking so I figured it was necessary.

I'll get my own eventually. I'm only getting away during uni breaks at the moment, so I dont get out as much as I would like, but once uni is over I'll definately get one. Hiring them gets expensive after a while

Not really, all there is to tell is I fell, got hurt, and got myself to a place that I could be rescued from.
