They were taken by photography student Ed Smith during a training session with Cornwall Search and Rescue Team and show Joe's banner, suspended from the team stretcher, approx 150 feet above the sea near Cligga

Pat Moret, Deputy Team Leader, said "We wanted to do something special to mark the coming anniversary of Joe's death and as a thank you to Hendra Holidays for supporting the team in the past. This was one of the best locations we could find and takes some beating."

The banner was taken to Mont Blanc at 2850m above sea level (peak between Val Thorens and Meribel Mottaret ski valleys) and was displayed up in the mountain slopes as well Jon taking the banner down a slope which meant skiing without his poles

Mark Rayner owner of Wavecrest said “We haven't managed to get any in the sea yet, due to poor conditions, so we decided to take the banner on a 6000 KM road trip from Orkney to Portugal”

Mark added “we left Rock on the 11th heading to Scrabster just over 1000km away. The following day we caught the ferry to Orkney loading brown crab. We then left for Portsmouth on our way to Setabul just under 3000km away. Stopping in Setabul for 24 hours we then departed for Rock arriving the 18th.
