Met Phil this morning and what a great guy, he has and is going to achieve so much, he also has a mighty handshake! Mourne Mountain Rescue Team joined him for a 10 mile walk along the Newcastle Promenade (but got called out to a rescue about half way through, fortunately it was just after they had stopped for coffee and muffins :) )
