As the man with the broken ankle I would like to thank the team for a highly professional and (relatively) pain free carry out to the ambulance in what must have been difficult and dark conditions. Having helped out in a few rescues in Scotland in the past, I now trully appreciate the hard work that is put in by your valient volunteers. Once I am on my feet I will look to to see what I and my CCF Cadets can do to raise some funds for the MRT in thanks.
