    Had a bit of an “off” on the Beast at Coed y Brenin on Saturday, resulting in weekend stay in Bangor hospital 🙁

    Just wanted to say a big thanks to Shirley at the centre for guiding the ambulance so quickly down all the fire roads.

    There are some advantages of riding at trail centres 🙂

    Thanks guys – just a bit of a shin/tree interface, so surgery needed to take out all the bits!

    That’ll teach me to ride SS on a black run 😉

    Bad news about the accident and hope you’re back on the bike soon enough, however I don’t see how gears would’ve prevented the accident

    Yes, Shirley was very helpful when my mate used his head as an emergency brake a few weeks back.

    I think the Forest Ranger who helped was called Hilary, rather than Shirley, but I’m sure if she’s reading this, she knows who we mean!!!

    Have to say, it was nice to see how helpful everyone was as well as how well the situation was dealt with by all those involved.
