Wireless Ridge. Overlooking the harbour across from Stanley. This ridge was a key part of the defenses of Stanley during the Falkland's conflict. There are very few farms or houses outside of Stanley and if you go exploring you really have to know where you are going.




The view from my room in the hospital house, overlooking the harbour toward Wireless Ridge and the Narrows, the entrance to the harbour.



Boxing Day race meeting in Stanley. The race course is just a strip of flat land to the edge of the town. It was here that a Argentinean airplane was forced to land after being hijacked in the early 1970's by a band of guerrillas who wanted to take over the islands for Argentina. They did not get very far, they never even got off the plane before being arrested and sent back home.



The hospital, with its fleet of 2 ambulances. The military have their own ambulances which they use, or they fly patients down to us by SeaKing. The hospital is new and very well equipped for the number of people it serves. There is sheltered housing close by for the more elderly residents and all the GP services are based here. It is a totally intergrated health system, not quite like mainland UK. We even still have the "Ground Force" garden still there which was planted a few years ago.



The race track, which also forms part of the golf course as well. In the distance are Mount Tumbledown, Twin Sisters and Mount Harriet. On Mount Tumbledown there are small remembrance markers on the hillside marking the spot where a soldier fell during the conflict.
