@BBCBreakfast Yes, I will read it. 10yrs ago my husband had a simple lower back operation. Told he would be driving in 2 weeks. Instead, when he came around from the anaesthetic he was paralysed from the neck down, and in severe pain for the next 5 yrs needing 24hr care. No longer with us 😢

@Sandpipertrust @gasdoc2857 @RedcastleGin Naturally, as I work with many charities I disguise any favouritism!!

I love Sandpiper - makes me quite emotional to think about those years. I'll always keep in touch with @Sandpiper_Trust and would do whatever I can to help the amazing job you all do (with or without gin)!

@ride_the_north @gasdoc2857 @RedcastleGin @Sandpiper_Trust 😘😘

@ride_the_north @gasdoc2857 @RedcastleGin Rest assured Sandpiper is still very much alive. Funds are low and we struggle to keep with the big boys

@gasdoc2857 @RedcastleGin There is a story about the (safety conscious) @Sandpipertrust fuelling cyclists with gin at a refreshment stop some years ago. It's probably just an urban myth! 😳

[Claire @Sandpipertrust]

@gasdoc2857 @ride_the_north @RedcastleGin Yes. I think we did it 2 years running and everyone loved it

[Claire @Sandpipertrust]

@ride_the_north @gasdoc2857 @RedcastleGin It was a big hit!!!

The book has an excellent foreword by @AnnieLennox and is available from The Sandpiper Trust at https://t.co/b2AxGBWNhr Please support if you can.

It was a privilege to speak to Claire Maitland, who co-founded the Sandpiper Trust and never dreamed it would make such a difference. She has published a new book: "The Swallow, The Owl, The Sandpiper…and The Little Red Robin". @Sandpipertrust

At the risk of my feed becoming an ode to the guy who really taught me how to be a Winchman; it’s good to see the old git getting some well deserved recognition. @duncan_tripp

[Dave @DaveLBywater]

Ironing done & ready for my “busmans holiday” to Stornoway! Facilitating some pre-hospital education with the @BASICSScotland next week in one of my favourite parts of Scotland. Day 1 Cardiac, Day 2 Trauma & Day 3 Paediatric. #WesternIsles 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🚑🏥😎

There have been more than a few occasions I’ve been in shitty @ScottishMR and @BASICSScotland situations where the reassuring face of @duncan_tripp arriving has immediately been reassuring. Legend in the SAR world. 👊

[Bristow Group @Bristow_Group]

He's only gone and WON IT!!!!

Huge congratulations to our Winch Paramedic Duncan Tripp who has just been surprised live on ITV from the Inverness Search and Rescue base as winner of the Pride of Britain Emergency Responder award!

Great day for 100 mile cycle @ride_the_north, lots of old friends on the route and new ones made.
A few of the original @BASICSScotland crew but flying the flag for @Sandpiper_Trust @Sandpipertrust wildcat.
Massive thanks to everyone for the behind the scenes work. 🚴‍♂️👍
