On my way to the Glen Affric Youth Hostel to meet up with fellow hikers i fell off my bike.
After negotiating 9 miles of rough cycling the last 100 yards caught me out.Going over a small bridge
i lost my balance and toppled sideways down an embankment and rolled several times. I bashed my ribs off a boulder and my bike ended up in the stream. After giving myself 5 mins i managed to get myself & bike back up on the path.
Ribs were too sore to sleep so next morning deciced to leave the munros and head home.

Franko! I tried not to but I couldn’t help myself a giggle! Such a shame you came all that way and fell at the final hurdle! We had been sitting waiting for you wondering how you were getting on and then you walked in all discombobulated 😢. Good to have the craic though and it’s just a reason to visit again!! Cheers again mate! Paulo

As a runner, I'm always wary when stepping on old wooden bridges as I've nearly come a cropper a few times. I did those hills by walking in and out from Glen Shiel in a ten-hour walk. Good to see you are back on the mend quickly. Davie

Full sympathy, cycled out to Culra on Friday and came close to coming off a couple of times. Then the midgies were absolutely horrendous and the overnight in the tent after the Ben Alder pair was awful. Hope it's not too bad an injury for you.

Hi Graham, think it was just bruised ribs as I’ve had cracked ribs before and I know what that feels like. Had booked Skye for last weekend there to do my last munro on the Cuillin, but the weather was abysmal and decided just to do the old man of Storr. Thanks again ATB Frank.👍🏔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Hope ur on the mend Frank.I am feeling ur mental pain with this one.🙄👍Went in for these 3 Munros on thursday 10th August. Got fed up getting off the bike and getting on it again after Strawberry Cottage,so a fecked it into a bush just after the Iron Bridge(West Affric sign) and walked the rest to the Hostel.Thought I was ok till I started the ascent behind the hostel and I had no energy in me.Really struggled to get up to the Bealach and knew I wasn't going to get them all.🥵🥵Just done a traverse of An Socach,dropped down to Bealach Coire Ghaidheil which has a stalkers path that takes you out at the iron bridge to get the bike.On the cycle out, my front wheel slide to the side and managed to stop myself from fully coming off the bike but cut 2 of my fingers.😮✌️Need to go back for the other 2 feckers and was raging at the thought the whole drive home.😱😱🚴‍♂️🏃

Yeh we’ve got similar feelings on this one Andy. Bloody 4.5hr drive up then I crash 100yds from bothy. Didn’t get a winks sleep all night, ribs were to sore to climb any of them. Had to cycle all the way back to car then 4.5hr drive back home for NOTHING.🤣🤣 Was raging and now I’ve got to go back in and do the whole 3. Ribs are still mending. Me and Hen Broon tried to get up on Cuillin Ridge on sat, but weather was horrendous so had to abort that. Seen to be doing a lot of travelling recently and getting nothing done.🤣🤣🤣 ATB Frank
