However, John was back the following morning and he declared that he chose to return as there was no chance of him quitting.
He told the other campmates: "I went to the hospital, it’s a bad sprain the whole side of my left ankle is swollen.
"There are things I can’t do, I can’t go down stairs but they’ve told me to walk on it as much as I can because the more I can walk on it the better it will get."
He was given a medical boot and a cane to walk with, and managed to continue taking on trials.
