Bit of a fundraising plea for the fine folk of the Keswick Mountain Rescue Team

McToot

My good friend Lyndon (aka Boris) was hurt very badly a few days ago whilst enjoying his fave hobby of climbing. If it weren't for the Keswick Mountain Rescue Team, there's a chance that he might not be here today.

Boris and I, along with Chris 'Bignose' Smith*, formed the mighty punk/alternative power trio Hamster Overboard in 1987 (gigs - 0: records - 0: fun, beer and pickled eggs - lots) and he's been pretty badly smashed up.  Needed airlifting off the mountain after waiting 3 hours for a rescue.

On the off chance that there are any other climbers and/or pickled egg enthusiasts among the good folk of the FB, then allow me ask, if you have a few spare magic bank beans, to head over to this page and donate. Thanks.
