WITH the trains not running through the valley at the moment, while the track is being upgraded, a regular occurrence is that walkers find themselves stranded without means of transport back to their own vehicles.

Today saw three Spanish ramblers, who had trekked from Ubrique via Cortes de la Frontera, stranded in Estacion de Jimera de Libar with one of their party slightly injured and consequently hobbling.

Dashing former schoolmarm Kate McHardy came to the rescue and offered to take them to medical facilites in Ronda in her car.

Great.

Except the petrol tank was almost empty!

Fortunately one of the ramblers was able to muster enough energy to walk to the petrol station in Benaojan and return with a top up for Kate's petroleum-starved Subaru and then continue on to Ronda.

Moral of the story is... if you have a car that is renowned for fast getaways put a tiger in your tank. Or at least some form of fuel!
