Thanks for all the helpful and supportive replies everyone, Yes, I was on the highlands glens and western isles, probably one of the remotest sections mainbrace to altnaharra at 1030 pm .Was a sheep.this time. Hit it square on and somersaulted bike and me over it. Landed on my left side with my arm pinned, which did for the ribs. Gravel rash is is not bad just had a CT scan though as I may have some internals. Caitness general is super, a&e were waiting for me, their only casualty, lots of attention from friendly staff.
The ambulance journey there was very long and bumpy
