It's not until you drive along one of those back roads that you realise just how scary those ditches are...
Anyway - I'm glad he was found, but it doesn't sound like he's in good shape at the moment - hope he recovers OK.
nightmare, always tell someone where you are going
Ohhh poor bugger
It's a significant problem in the Cambridgeshire fens - if you fall off one of the back roads there are very deep ditches with many feet of water
at the bottom. Many car drivers and bike riders have died in them...

The poor lad that worked with my wife wasnt so lucky Link
Mate of mine went through a hedge on his bike (still doesn't remember what happened) one afternoon. He was lying trapped under his bike unconcious. He was found when a passing motorist noticed his tail light in the field that night. The exhaust had burned through his boot and down to the bone of his leg.
i know that feeling,thats why i always went out with a friend .
i came off and both me and bike were inbedded in a 10ft wide hedge.
it took my mate over 1/2hour to find me,it was on his 5th pass at 5mph when he spotted the headlamp in the sun.
i hope he makes a full recovery

A few years ago a nurse from Adenbrookes hospital went missing, about a week later she was found in her car having gone off the A10 at Waterbeach , through a hedge and into a lake . Only a few feet from a very busy road
