Whilst leading a boggies ride around Winster on Saturday Simon Barnes has suffered a heart attack, two of the group administered CPR until paramedics arrived which was around 30 minutes!
He was stabilized and taken to Lancaster Infirmary he his now critical in Blackpool coronary care 🙁
My thoughts and the whole of the bogtrotters club are with Simon and his family.
Bravo to the group that got him treated and administered life saving fist aid!

All the best to SFB and his loved ones. Well done to those with him!
Blimey! Get well soon Simon.
Well done to his riding mates for the actions they took.
best wishes to Simon, his family & friends. Get well soon chap
Jees, never met the guy but obviously seen much of his input on here, must have been a scary time for all involved, as not some thing you expect to happen on a ride.
Worrying times for friends and family, lets hope that he pulls through and manages to get a full recovery.
Get well soon !
shocking news and indeed get well soon and well done to all with him.
oh bloody hell......I hope he is ok.
fingers crossed for you barnsey.
Hope all works out well. Didn't know Simon but have enjoyed his pictures over the years.
Jeez. Hope he's alright...
Get well soon you argumentative old bugger.
Horrible thing. Good luck for a speedy recovery SFB. Well done to the group for everything done.
Get well soon!

:$ hope he makes a full recovery. Scary stuff
Sound like a well done to those who kept it together long enough for help to arrive. Good luck SFB.
Weird. I was just reading [url= http://www.theguardian.com/politics/2013/sep/15/heart-attack-survival-first-aid ]this article[/url] before I saw this.
Good luck SFB.
Best wishes for your recovery and what a truly frightening experience. Your riding buddies sounded fantastic with their efforts.
Wowza! Well done to those who knew what to do. I'm beginning to think it's inexcusable I've not done a CPR course.
Fingers and cables all crossed for Simon here, too.

Blimey that's unlucky and lucky in equal measure. Unlucky for the heart attack in the first place but bloody lucky that his mates could perform CPR properly until help arrived.
Get well soon Simon.
Fingers crossed. Get well soon.
Terrible news. Well done to those that helped keep him alive.
Best wishes, sfb.

All the best you argumentative old bugger 🙁
I have always enjoyed his posts and his photographs and look forward to them again in the not too distant future.
So heal well and fast Simon.
Just a quick one I have just been informed not all of Simons relatives have been informed of the situation, there is not a lot I can do about this thread but if you could be mind full when posting on Facebook/twitter for the next 24hrs.
He is stable and sedated on a ventilator @ the moment.

Get well soon SFB...
Followed one of Simons routes only a couple of weeks ago.
Good luck Simon, hoping for a speedy recovery fella.
Wishing you a speedy recovery SFB.
Best wishes from everyone at Singletrack, too.
Healing thoughts from over here, too.
Having met Simon a couple of times this is a bit of a shock to say the least...
Best wishes and a speedy recovery dude. My thoughts are with you.
