Woops - I'll try again....Grandad ended-up in the ditch

....Tried to edit & the lot disappeared.....& it wouldn't let me delete the post



Took my new helmet camera (ACT20) on a family day out on the Camel Trail:

Lovely day; stopped at Wadebridge for icecreams before heading back to Dunmere.

Stopped beside Gran, put my foot down & went straight down the nettle-covered ditch

.... And I couldn't even swear, because I had Shorty on behind, in the trail buggy

The camera works well & the original footage is very good quality for less than £50

Brave man, many a chap would have quietly forgotten where the file was and hoped nobody ever found out.

I've never done anything like that honest !

By the way -The splodge at the top of the frame is fly guts. Nothing to do with the picture quality.

No sympathy from gran' I notice.

My missus did something similar years back in Leanachan Forest nr Fort William. Stopped to blether and put left foot down. Only trouble was she had stopped at a ditch and the 3 foot depth won out on her leg length. Still gets a laugh from the kids (ok, and me) even now.

Been there, done that. In my case, I ended up upside down in the ditch under a hedge, still 'on' the bike - feet on pedals, saddle between legs, gripping the bars, wheels spinning idly...

I wish I'd had a video of it happening from behind or something, must have looked hilarious!
