As this will become common knowledge in the next few days I thought I would post this message to save anyone any undue worry ...

Whilst in France Red Leader (Kevin) was involved in a serious RTA along with Fraser his best mate.

I really don't want to go into detail as I'm still finding it all quite difficult to come to terms with as the car involved only missed me by about 6 inches ...

Kevin and Fraser have both had a very luck escape and Kevin has a bruised and blackened eye and a broken rib, Fraser has a compressed vertebrae, both are fully functioning and have been on their feet today.

I have only just arrived home after a gruelling 550 mile solo slog.

The boys are hopefully being shipped home tomorrow or Weds by their insurers and are in good spirits sharing a room in the same hospital.

I hope you will join me in wishing them all the best.
