Blitz,
Thank you so much for trying so hard to help Baz. He was a great friend of mine and many others – who will no doubt be in touch to express their heartfelt gratitude for your efforts. I am quite sure that If the roles were reversed he would have stepped up too. My heart goes out to the lady and her daughter who were with Baz before you arrived. This must have been a very shocking scene for them too. The comments from this community on your post have provided much comfort to all who knew Baz.
Baz was a great man – who lived life to the full with his lovely wife Natasha. They had so many adventures together and had so many friends who they connected with through various activities including his love of mountain bikes and all things mechanical and technological.
While his untimely death is a great shock to us all, and it is, I feel lucky and very privileged to have shared almost 40 years of friendship with a good lad like Baz. If you knew him, you loved him, and looked forward to hanging out with him.
Thank you for doing all you could for him. It’s a great comfort to know that there are good people in the world who try with all they have to save the life of someone in such distress. I will make sure that I learn CPR and first aid so that I can step up for someone else if needed.
Finally, as an accomplished network engineer, Baz would fully endorse What3words as a tool to accurately triangulate your position for many good reasons outside of this one.
Please reach out to those skilled to help you talk about and process this situation, hug your loved ones a bit harder, remind those you love that you do just that – love them and raise the the nozzle of your camelbak to Baz once in a while on that trial – which he loved to ride. You’re a good person for doing what you did, we are all grateful to you for doing all you could and I hope one day to tell you that in person.
Ride well Bazman… we all miss you x
Thanks Blitz 👍
