You'll ken it's you from the title. Hope stitches weren't required, might get a plank over that bit next week.
Bunnyhopping pleasure next time!
Northwind? What did he do?
Hiked-a-bike up from carpark with me, then -needs must- had to turn and head back down( planned to shoot off through woods) but on the right embankment he was zipping down beyond the digger & went full splat into a peaty ditch.
Pressure worked wonders, but i would've been particularly concerned with the fleshy flap & perhaps bone visibility. No shock or panic and we carried on riding together into Colinton village.
BLOOD!
Though he might've missed his deadline for being home to cut the grass at 6.30, so i'm unsure which will cause more grievance!
Grass cut, lots of scrubbing of leg. Wine seems to be making the pain go away 🙂
Cheers for the help and chum down the hill and to the three folk with med kit further down.
Note to self: stick to sensible places like tour de ben nevis 🙂
PS. Nice new ditch to watch out for down Puke Hill - the wee bit that had a green mat is now a decently wide ditch. Open my eyes next time 🙂
PS. Funniest moment ..... 'watch my frame' says I worrying about bike .... then looked at leg. Ooops ...
"THE FRAME"!
"your leg has a trapdoor"
[i]Positions shiny carbon carefully before using a sock as a tourniquet and boosting off with admirable pace[/i]
Wonder how that boys wrist was?
Bad Karma for being sans helmet.
Aye - hope two lads leaving Puke hill got on ok with tht wrist injury - looked a bit grim.
Never found such a good use for a sock.....
He with the elevated arm couldn't walk in a straight line, it's a long walk to help.
Who needs what done in order to green mat our culpable ravine of today?
If anyone's following this lot so far, advice & that..i'm happy to help.
