That looks very colourful CJ.

77 miles an hour, 4 inches off the ground and I'm interested

77 miles an hour and 10 feet off the ground without the aid of a safety net and i'm off mate.

My advice is Arnica, it's what the kids take to reduce bruises, it really works too. Looking at your leg I think you need one about the size of a dustbin lid.

Glad to hear it's nothing really serious, hell you could have landed on your smoking arm.

But I think on balance my weekend sitting in a field with 20,000 really nice people, about 50 yards from a tanker full of Wadworths 6X while varous singers paraded in front of my slumbering frame beats being picked up and dumped from a very great height!

Get well soon.

Nice carpet by the way.

I need to have a go at this sport....77mph 4inch of the ground..

That looks bloody painful, cj.

How about a lovely foot spa?

I hope that nasty bruise calms down for you, mate.

Very fitting Bryan as my foot looks also looks like an old codger's too.

Skyhigh: When he asks mate

When I fetched my buggy back, the speedo had the last recorded reading at 31.3mph. It was a personal best inland Not bad when your bum's four inches off the floor, but way off the 77mph world record (nutters): O

I've now got someone else's foot, possibly John Merricks...

lmao, when does he get it back..

OUt Saturday, powerkiting and buggying. Great day for the wind, although a bit strong here and there.

Set up about 11am with a 4sq metre kite (Flexifoil Blade) and the wind picked up. I thought, mmm maybe not this size kite. One of the lads jokingly said "you might as well have a go with it, now it's out of the bag"

So I did

Set off on a run and really felt the acceleration kick in about three hundred metres away...started to think about 'scrubbing' some speed off and whoosh, a gust of wind caught me, whipped me out of the buggy about ten feet into the air and unceremoniously dumped me down, just as quick. Landed squarely (as opposed to anything like a collar bone et al, thank F) on my right foot and I tumbled like a bag of the proverbial. Buggy continued into hedge!

Poorly ankle all day, but the Brashers kept it in check. Not clever though and went to A and E the next morning: nothing broken, but a bad sprain

Ooooo NASTY..
