Prince William's double mountain rescue after wedding

Gerald · 05-05-11, 06:21 PM

The Duke of Cambridge has been involved in two rescues, just days after his wedding.

Prince William was among the crew of an RAF Sea King helicopter from RAF Valley in Anglesey who flew to the aid of a 70-year-old walker in Snowdonia.

The man was said to have had a heart attack on the 2,946ft (898m) Lliwedd mountain on Wednesday night.

After flying him to hospital in Bangor the crew returned and flew four men off Snowdon after one suffered vertigo.

The men, thought to be police officers from the West Midlands and in their 20s, were walking at 3,560ft (1,085m) on Crib Goch when one became unwell.

They were airlifted down from the narrow ridge in an area known as Crib-y-Ddysgyl - the scene of previous tragedies.

Last I read on BBC some days ago was that he is about being send for a 4 months tour of duty to the Falklands and that they will live separated during that time, with honeymoon trip planned for next year.

Isn'T it amazing how we all have been turned into royalty experts?

A few hours later Prince William was sent on an urgent mission to the bottle strewn peak of Crib Boozerton to rescue Pippa Middleton from some Welsh beefcake in boxers.

You sure these are not leaked from the wedding party in Buckingham Palace?
