Just wondering how the poor guy is. Lots of speculation at the time and I was just hoping there was some better news now?

I rode it the day after reading that thread......people were talking about the Bomb Hole at the top I honestly couldnt remember it, I usually just roll happily down that whole trail. I was sure looking for it at the top, ended up skidding into a tree on the left, all tensed up, desperatly trying not to crash the day before I went on holiday.

Hope he's all right, not a spot for a newbie if thats what he was.

Why not? There's a little roll in at the top, which has got a bit cut up in the last few months, but I'd say it's a great trail for folk to learn on.

Airlifted- where did they land? At the open gravel section across the road? That'd be a tight squeeze for rotors.

Yes, its not on Pitch. Its by the resevoir on the other side of the road at the top of BKB. Must have been a dusty landing.

It'd be a lot easier to land a chopper there now the FC have logged a 1 mile radius of the resevoir ๐Ÿ™„

The Surrey/Sussex air ambulance crew was in Horsham on Monday fundraising. I asked them if they had heard anything else but they hadn't. The chap I spoke to said he thought the injured guy was a solicitor.
