She'll certainly try her best to ground him but he's like Tigger-always has to be on the go.

Katek How scary. Will his wife let him out of her sight next time? Thank goodness he is safe.

Front calliper burst and chain set not looking too good apparently. Not sure about frame. He's one lucky guy....was almost at Slochd summit at 2c!!

Oof! Just shows how important it is to leave your route with someone when off on adventures. How's the bike?

DDs and respective families are off for their annual Easter week in the Highlands. DSil went out for a bike run yesterday, came off on a bend and fell down a gully. He fractured his leg and was suffering from hypothermia by the time the emergency services got him out. Awkward terrain meant he had to be airlifted by helicopter to Inverness. He's now back at holiday cottage with plaster, crutches and pain killers. Thank goodness that's all that happened to him....it was pretty hairy for a while. Fortunately dd had his route.
