Gordon Parker I pushed the final mtrs and pushed like hell from 8.30 for release papers, managed to get over the wall at 2pm, Ross was waiting in the forest with the BM and we made a hasty getaway. Went and visited the crash scene on the way back and was nearly sick, I know know why I did not see him till the last moment as he was hiding behind the phone shop in Jack's cafe and came out from behind were most people turn left there is a filter lane, he decided to turn right and pulled out less than 20 mtrs infront of me, oh s*it ( will go up later and take some measurements) I had not chance, I knew at the time I was very very lucky but going back even more so.
Collapsed last night due to very little sleep and being kept awake by inconsidetate night nursing staff who would take till nearly midnight before giving me my infusion / painkillers and switching the lights off, Ross is far better and as I type is preparing a full english !
Off to locate some wheels today and as you can see feeling much better for escaping and being home.
Thanks to all who called/texted sorry if I did not reply but they kept telling me off for using the phone.
After only 3 days in hosp I can assure you all the horror stories of the NHS are true but they do have some very good staff who really do care, it's just a shame that they cannot show their true potential due to the system, I could go on but brekkers is ready.
Ambulance was there just as I had crawled to the kerb !!

Many thanks to Alpinestars, Arai and sidi, without them I would have been in a very sorry state
Off to find some wheels later

The bike is a write off but we have a cunning plan, will post some pics later
