Oof, some fairly big stuff to break yourself on in those woods. Just been for a solo night ride myself, but two people knew my planned route, does make you think though.

Aye, so long as he's OK we can start taking the wotsit. Right? He must have previous for the Police, a chopper and the mountain rescue to start looking for him after 3 hours. Not sure my missus would have even sent a wherethechuffareyou text by then.

A couple of big trail side drops if you're unlucky. I'd a bit of a of a close call on a washed out bit a couple of weeks back there, not too familiar with the trails and night riding it for the first time. Wasn't alone though...

Solo night ride?

He set off at 16:00.
That's a high-tea ride at best.

Hmm...

The search was initiated at 19:00, and was "extensive". I wonder what time the guy was found? The woods are a lonely place to be lying injured.
