Wow! Get well soon! and amazing work from your riding buddies and paramedics. Makes me want to get a brush up on first aid for group rides.

Any news on his condition?

His son posted on FB to say he was stable but sedated, no further update expected until tomorrow.

Fingers crossed for a full recovery.

Get well soon SFB and thanks for the info Rich.

Last had a chat with Simon at the Fox in deepest Grizedale - I was out with the kids and he was guiding some boggies.

Best wishes sent in SFB's direction, never met the chap, but have conversed with him other than on here - one of the good guys, and it's quite a shock as he's always struck me as being fit as a fiddle.

Simon is very fit for his age, and his heart attack was caused by a blood clot rather than furred arteries etc, which the doctors saw as a positive situation.

The next 24hrs will be crucial as they bring him round and assess for other issues / side affects associated with heart failure. We'll post more details as soon as possible and with the agreement of his immediate family.

The sheer volume of the messages in this thread will mean a great deal to his family, and the praise for the members who administered CPR before the first responders arrived on the scene are a great comfort. Without their intervention, this would have been a very different thread altogether.

Get well soon Mr Barnes. I'm still in shock at the news, Simons photos and his maps inspired me to ride in the Lake District (I'd started riding relatively late in life) and after a few years of great weekends in the lakes i'm his debt. Healing wishes

Shocking news! Simon was his usual self Thursday night at the Biggie's AGM - taking photos offering to lead rides and as contrary as ever :mrgreen:

Apparently the ambulance from Lancaster to Blackpool went all the way on footpaths 😉

Here is to speedy recovery!

I'm guessing they wanted to avoid him spinning [s]in his grave[/s] on the stretcher 🙂

Well done to the Bogtrotters, their actions further underscore the value of some proper first aid training.

And of course here's hoping all turns out for the best for Simon and I look forward to some photos of nurse's arses

For those asking about CPR and "what would I do", there is a great free app for smartphones by St John's Ambulance. Contains lots of scenarios you might encounter (including CPR) and has visual and audio information as what to do. If you own a smartphone and take it out riding than worth a look IMO.

You know what, it wouldn't hurt to go on such a course. I might look into it.
