Hi, recovering well thanks, soft tissue around the shoulder is sore but I think it will only take a couple of weeks to be 100%. I owe a huge thanks to Bob Johnston from Dark Peak, who gave up his chance of a top 50 place to help me get my kit on and then get me to the tourist path! Especially as the first 5 or 6 runners to pass me ignored my pleas. It was a hard trudge back to base, and I met a GP on the way down who knew instantly what I had done but refused to pop it back in for me on the mountain! His wife did offer me a puffer jacket though.. Weird that, moments later, as I tensed, about to slip on some wet rocks, it went back in on its own (a painful process).

The decision to ask runners to take a long sleeve base layer was spot on, I would have been much colder getting of the mountain without it. I heard that 2 runners were helicoptered off Bowfell last year with the same injury.

I will be going over the pike next time too.

Glad you're ok Dan. So you actually asked runners for help & they ignored you? If so, I find that staggering.

he wasn't even staggering at that point Jez, if you read his post carefully.

I should imagine you ran straight past him with a cheery wave Ben?

Agreed. I assume this has been raised at a higher level.

I can't begin to imagine what's going through somebody's mind for them to run past an injured fell runner. I wouldn't sleep at night!

[Stagger]

I agree.

Also Bob Johnson should be replaced in his original position for his generous act.

Hope all goes well DJ. Shoulder press's to build up your deltoid muscles ��

Yeah, I was a bit taken aback. Luckily it was only a matter of seconds before Bob was on the scene!

Yes

[IanDarkpeak]

I was surprised that no one offered help whether asked or not.

Rules for Runners Rule 7
If you see another runner in difficulty, you should of course offer help

I had to clamber over him.
