Yeah, pelting along a canal towpath I could see a wasp approaching in the opposite direction at speed, at this point the ‘don’t look at the magnetic tree effect’ had kicked in and I felt like I was stuck on the rail road straight to wasp town. By now faced with almost certain death things were moving in slow motion and I could see the wasp move into attack mode stinger first and was heading right at my face., “thwack”, I had a wasp lodged in my upper eyelid, I rammed on the brakes, plucked the wriggly little bastard out of my eye before bodyslamming him on the ground and dishing out some foot justice.
It didn’t feel too bad at the time and as I was only just heading out on my merry way I continued on my ride, about twenty minutes later my eye closed up completely and I soon wished I’d gone straight home.
