Brit saved by armless hiker
An intrepid trekker broke a leg on a mountain — and was rescued by an armless man.
Amazingly, Briton Ian Moseley’s saviour managed to ring for help by using his toes to key in the phone number.
Ian, 46, had lain in agony after slipping and tumbling while walking to raise money for Children In Need. He was stranded on 4,000ft Chairback Mountain in the remote Hundred Mile Wilderness, in America’s Appalachians.
Ian had a whistle with him which he blew frantically in the hope of attracting attention. Luckily, it was heard by another hiker, Michael Noyce, who went to his aid.
He told Ian to stay calm then walked to an area he knew could receive a mobile phone signal and carefully used his feet to call a mountain rescue team. They had to ward off wolves and bears before reaching the pair six hours later.
