  • Lucky day...

    I thought I was doing well for luck when I went for one more auto and my 600n cut (dry) while still climbing downwind. I didn't make it back and it dropped behind a stone wall. It was on a steep slope and on its side, but I'd pretty much stopped the blades. It was fine - no damage. Ifter a check over I put another tank through with no ill effects.

    Then on the way to collect my boy from playgroup, in town a car came the other way down hill and wandered into the middle of the road, slowly, just missing me - it continued into the side of a lorry that had driven onto the pavement to miss her. she came to a stop at the back of the lorry more or less blocking the main A6 into Buxton from the north.
    She had passed out at the wheel. She seemed to be recovered and uninjured. However large dents other places on the car suggest it may not be the first time...
    ambulance called and she was still at the wheel and the road blocked when I left the scene. Others were attending to her.

    An interesting day off work so far...
