Admin Mk2Jo Posted June 28, 2010 Admin Report Posted June 28, 2010 ... my eldest son (mk2Jordan) who is 15 is going on a trip of a lifetime on an activity holiday to the Ardeche in 3 weeks time with the school. We have been paying for it for the last year - the cost was £550. The activities are kayaking down a mountain river with overnight bivouac, rock climbing, raft building, caving, canoeing etc, etc ..... Last Thursday night we were in A & E for 3 hours ... he came off his bike ... he now has a broken collar bone so, no trip for him He is okay, thankfully, but he could have picked a better time to have an accident At least the school insurance covers him and we get all the money back.
SmokeEm Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Gutted for him. Sounds like it could've been a life changing experience
Admin Mk2Jo Posted June 28, 2010 Author Admin Report Posted June 28, 2010 All his mates are going as well which makes it worse It was to be a nice break for him before his final year at school and all the exams that go with it
Stu_B Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 It was to be a nice break for him before his final year at school : No pun intended....
Admin Vista Posted June 28, 2010 Admin Report Posted June 28, 2010 Get well soon young man! Can I go instead? Are there any sixth form girls going?
Boreham Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Get well soon young man! Can I go instead? Are there any sixth form girls going? Hard luck on the young Guy... Jo.. I suppose he could have got hurt worse... a smash of a bike can be dangerous enough...
Trevmk3 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 i didnt know that Jo when i took the mick out of him on Retards Club (told him to get a bigger bike ) im sure he will get to do it at some point in the future, plus its £550 back in the pot
RossMK2 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 thats a shame i never was interested in trips except for one to a theme park my mates said they weren't gonna bother then at last min they all payed money but i couldn't cus i had day off i used to do alot of stunt stuff on my bike and the amount of times i fell off is just unbelieveable but every time i was lucky and didn't do any damage
baz105e Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 Jo i think you may have taken his stableisers off a little too early
marky4 Posted June 28, 2010 Report Posted June 28, 2010 gutted for him ryan's going on a simlar holiday in july to wales, hope he doesn't do the same
oddball Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Poor Jordan As we said the other week everyone comes of a bike at least once, he just did it really badly Does he get to keep the money instead?
Admin Mk2Jo Posted June 29, 2010 Author Admin Report Posted June 29, 2010 Ali, I made him pay £70 towards the trip so that is his but he is not buying a new bike with the money I can tell you He still has his mountain bike anyway Oh well .... it could have been worse as he wasn't wearing a helmet ... lucky he didn't land on his head
4parajon Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Give him my best Jo Now What escort bits are you going to treat yourself with
Trevmk3 Posted June 29, 2010 Report Posted June 29, 2010 Oh well .... it could have been worse as he wasn't wearing a helmet ... lucky he didn't land on his head he might of done less damage landing on his head Jo
