Yes, I hope he's OK too. I came across him and an Ambleside runner called Tim who was helping him to put on his overtrousers and together we helped the hypothermic runner to get to the checkpoint on Dow Crag as it was the nearest point we could get help. However, due to the thick clag, the helicopter couldn't get to him so MRT had to go up and carry him down to beneath the cloud from where he was flown to hospital. Don't know any more than that apart from that he was in quite a bad way, stumbling, slurred, at times incoherent speech and loud moans. Poor chap.

It had started off quite warm, but by the time I was ascending Swirl How the rain seemed to get heavier and the wind got up a bit and I started to get quite cold. In fact, before coming across Graham and Tim, I was just thinking to myself that I'd had enough and wanted to get off the hill because I was getting too cold. Fortunately, once we'd left Graham in the marshals' capable hands, Tim and I were able to run again and soon regained some warmth.

Just goes to show though - June and it wasn't even as if the weather was that bad - just being out in it for several hours, using up fuel reserves, getting wet and blown on ... it doesn't take much to start to get into trouble.
