Our practice session in Wales ended in disaster today.
Poor Chalky was carrying too much speed out coming out of the top right hand corner and ran wide into the shallow ditch, slamming into a concrete drainage pipe thing at about 45 mph.

He broke both his ankles and was in a hell of a lot of pain. It took about an hour before he was air lifted to Bangor Hospital (Wales) were he is currently undergoing surgery. We think he will be at the Bangor hospital until Wednesday (20 March 2002) and then they will move him to a hospital nearer his home.

If anyone would like more information on his condition the Bangor Hospital's telephone number is 01248 384112, or contact Chris Beard on this site or me (Todd@DoctorDanger.com).

If you would like to send Chalky any get well wishes please do so via the message board on this site.

It has not been a good day

Cheers
Todd

p.s. we mentioned to the surgeon that since they had Chalky in the surgical theatre that it might be an opportune time to swap his brain with that of a gorilla's or perhaps conduct some sort of improvement work to it...
p.p.s special thanks to Chris, Joe, Neil and the two ambulance guys (Brian and Arwel) for taking such great care of Chalky.
