I mysteriously came down with vertigo at the bottom of Maskhill Mine. I'd rigged all the way down, feeling more off colour as I went. At the bottom I fell over and couldn't get up. It was a "fun" trip out of Oxlow. I tried various "manoeuvres" recommended by experts, but none had any effect in my case. It eventually cleared on a flight to Austria. I was comically bouncing off walls through MCR airport and staggering down the aisle on boarding. When I stood up to disembark I was completely cured. I guess the pressure changes did the trick. Might be worth you taking a medicinal holidayNot a lot yet as I Aparently have come down with vertigo following a cold/infection! I don’t recommend it, although the neighbours enjoyed my comedy tumble into a hedge whilst walking/wobbling to the doctors this morning!
