Side Farm The Lakes

[Frad]

Right Dont need words realy but DC has had a little off

He rode 240 miles to get to the campsite in Ullswater, the clue for the inclines is in the name 'Side Farm' NOT' the side of the lake but side of the mountain

As we were looking for a flat bit DC went and tried to turn around on a slope OOPS it toppled over and down he went, Im not as heartless as others and forgot, I mean didnt get my camera out, rushed over and he was rather pale ????






Kept him warm and went and rang 999


Thats Chris being sympathetic




Paramedics came and took him off to Carlisle Hospital..... think DC liked the Paras




She did roll down the hill still in reverse and was waiting for her to let the clutch out and watch DC go through the windscreen



At midnight we got the phone call, to pick him up, tight git wouldn't pay £90 for the taxi

After X-rays Russ had dislocated his shoulder after some Gas and Air back it went.

So hats off to Chris and Andy who went to get him whilst I played guard to the camp

Hudders is being a top bloke and going over on his only day off in a fortnight with a van to pick DC and his bike up

DC I hope your shouder gets better soon and your back in the saddle soon take care mate

[HUDDERS]

Couldn't stop laughing when I got the phone call

He is so going to pay for this

Second time been up the Lakes to pick up the same bike with a cripple

[Lulu]

Hope the damage ain't too bad DC and you make quick recovery. Keep it shiny side up in future

[largewayround]

Hope you feel better soon .. DC

Well done everyone for rallying around and helping.

[btbloke]

oh russ what is it about you and anything not flat mate?
get well soon,i'm told it feels like someone else if your only left with the left hand,unless your left handed of course,in which case you'll be alright.

I was too worried about dropping mine to rush the camera out

Pleased to say the bike did not have a mark on it

Bloody heavy though with Full panniers,top box and dry bag with a HUGE tent in it

His timing is always wrong

Hudders and DC called in at mine for a coffee on the way back. He seems in good spirits and the bike is fine. (I new i shouldn,t have sold it to him)

What a woos!

I have only ever dislocated my shoulder once and that was playing rugby against (and inside) Swaleside Category B prison (minimum 14 year sentence for violence).

Someone yanked it back in on the pitch and I swapped sides of the pack and carried on playing (there were only 15 cons on the pitch but there were 250 on the sidelines watching, so the pitch seemed the safest place to be).

I think a big vote of thanks must go DC for this. We've all embarrassingly dropped our bikes at a standstill, but to drop it and injure yourself to such a degree that you need paramedics, has set a new standard.

Hudders, if you had rung me I'd have ridden to the lakes to help you (help you laugh, I mean)
