I think that's the Wotton one. I've added a link to it from the summary on page 5. I now wonder if that's the same one @User482 reported?

It is I think. I just looked at Google Maps and its the descent just after the pub on the right. I knew it was the A25, just didn't know the area around there had a name or what it was.

Can you link to the fb entry? The time stamp (eg "5 hours") should be a link you can put on here.

I'm pretty sure that's the man I saw. I'm relieved that he's on the mend, as I feared the worst when I saw him lying on the road.

I know its been posted now, but I decided to give enough info for people to find it if they wished
I ad-block-plus the hell out of facebook, and never visit organisational pages, so don't have the facebook-fu to find it.

Saw somebody I know down in Richmond Park and fortunately when we stopped he was mostly OK just messed up and just required a bit of stitching. I got stuck behind the major one before Leith, hope there OK too. I missed the second major one at the otherside of Leith, I'm guessing that's the bloke in the FB link, I hope he's already on the mend. I also passed a bloke near the end in central London fortunately he was sitting up and in the hands of a paramedic but he looked a mess too

That's fair enough
Hopefully the link posted after my post was helpful. I'm not sure where it was other than passed Leatherhead (I think) or if it's one that has been mentioned, but there was someone on the ground on the left hand side of the road with a Marshall and another rider moving people to the right. The emergency services hadn't got there yet but there was a woman laying on the ground with him keeping his neck still.

I mentioned it briefly on the other thread, but after I passed the ambulance on Kingston Bridge, a saw a minor collision. An official motorcycle, presumably clearing the way for the ambulance, turned across a rider (the riders had not been directed to stop) and clipped her wheel. She came down, but I was happy to see her shouting at the motorcycle, so she was ok

Take some comfort from the fact that I think we now know which were the three serious ones (Pyrford, Wotton and Walton) so anything else you saw must have been slight and looked worse than it was.I also passed a bloke near the end in central London fortunately he was sitting up and in the hands of a paramedic but he looked a mess too
Erm -- manipulation of what? I am lost now --- sorry if it gets clearer in the next 7 pages.
