HeliMed 2009

Wales has the best motorcycling in the UK - accessible, great places to stop for a panad (Cymraeg = tea), and a great welcome.
Great roads carries risk, and for GSERs who like the quiet places, they are often far from help. That's where the Air Ambulance comes in.
In the dark days before the evolution of the emergency medical care standards that we currently expect as a right, I drove an ambulance in North Wales. On a good day, if you threw your bike up the road in Llanrhaedr ym Mochnant, it would have taken an hour to get to you, and at least an hour to get to hospital. Many couldn't wait that long.
These days we have the Wales Air Ambulance; it raises your chances of survival. It needs voluntary contributions to continue to provide the standard of service that we expect as a right.
One for your diary.
Saturday August 22nd 2009

We could do a run back on the Sunday as well. Once the details come through I'll have a look for a camping place.

Would also be interested, last Sunday before going back to work after summer holidays

fund raising

Will be out hopefully.
Been doing the odd bit here and there for the airambulance service, since we had a ride out back in 2004 for them.

A very good cause

Oooops just saw the date on this and realised its this weekend.

Can't make it I'm afraid.

Sorry Robin
