Always enjoyed reading a thread when SFB got involved. Healing vibes fella.
The Saturday rides won't be the same without that big camera lense pointing towards us on the tricky bits..Hoping the good work of the people that helped Simon will result in a full and fast recovery.

Last time I saw him he offered me a sweet. As I was munching on it he kept said-sweets in a old chamois-cream arse jar thing.
Best of luck sfb

Oh god nightmare. Get well Simon.

Thoughts are with you !!!
Blimey, just seen this. Thoughts with SFB & family and great job done by the team keeping him going until the paramedics arrived. Fingers crossed for a full recovery.
I can't help feeling that Simon would find something to argue about on this thread... get better soon and come back and start a storming, divisive, debate when you are 🙂
Best wishes and healing vibes SFB !!

Get well soon simon
Get well soon, Simon. Sorry I didn't stop you for a chat on Friday, now! 🙁
I think he said fluck
Good luck Simon.
Send some bums over there quick.
Hope he makes a full and fast recovery. Thoughts to his family and friends.
Brilliant work looking after him until the paramedics got to you, undoubtedly traumatic but sounds like they kept their heads and looked after him. Sure he will be buying a few guys some beers.
get well soon simon.
fantastic work from the fellow riders to keep him alive until help arrived.

Pull through fella...hoping to see some more of your Lakes pics in the future 😀
Wow! Get well soon! and amazing work from your riding buddies and paramedics. Makes me want to get a brush up on first aid for group rides.
Any news on his condition?
His son posted on FB to say he was stable but sedated, no further update expected until tomorrow.
Fingers crossed for a full recovery.
Get well soon Simon.

Get well soon SFB and thanks for the info Rich.
Last had a chat with Simon at the Fox in deepest Grizedale - I was out with the kids and he was guiding some boggies.
Wishing you a speedy recovery 8)
Best wishes.
Get well soon Simon.
best wishes
Get well soon. All extremities crossed for you.
Best wishes sent in SFB's direction, never met the chap, but have conversed with him other than on here - one of the good guys, and it's quite a shock as he's always struck me as being fit as a fiddle.
Crikey! Get well soon SFB!
Simon is very fit for his age, and his heart attack was caused by a blood clot rather than furred arteries etc, which the doctors saw as a positive situation.
The next 24hrs will be crucial as they bring him round and assess for other issues / side affects associated with heart failure. We'll post more details as soon as possible and with the agreement of his immediate family.
The sheer volume of the messages in this thread will mean a great deal to his family, and the praise for the members who administered CPR before the first responders arrived on the scene are a great comfort. Without their intervention, this would have been a very different thread altogether.
Get well soon Mr Barnes. I'm still in shock at the news, Simons photos and his maps inspired me to ride in the Lake District (I'd started riding relatively late in life) and after a few years of great weekends in the lakes i'm his debt. Healing wishes
Shocking news! Simon was his usual self Thursday night at the Biggie's AGM - taking photos offering to lead rides and as contrary as ever 
Apparently the ambulance from Lancaster to Blackpool went all the way on footpaths 😉
Here is to speedy recovery!
