Talking about OTB in the other threat.
Coming Down the decent to Curl Curl Creek. 3 ambulances. Just above the big rock roll down. Farrrk didn't look good at all. Temptation to stop to see what was going on was huge. But 4-6 ambulance officers should be plenty to take care of ther poor soul who crashed there.

I hope whoever it was has a quick road to recovery.

Saw the Ambo parked up the top at the Parkway yesterday. Also heard what sounded like a hovering helicopter.
Hope the rider is OK. That area has plenty of potential to mess someone up if they don't know what they're doing or if they're not paying attention.

Yea I saw the helicopter too. We went to the Cascades after the Dam so that was a good 1.5 hrs after we saw the ambos just above Curl Curl creek.

Not sure. I was thinking maybe something else happened at the Dam itself. I Did't put 1+1 together pehaps it was connected. It was hovering around The Dam wall when we saw it.

ohh Geeeeesus

The Creek is at the bottom of the hill. You go alongside Wakehurst Parkway, down the hill, across the creek, along, up heartbreak hill... etc. etc.

Just before the creek is a right turn and rocky roll-down. It's a pretty obvious place for caution, so big crashes there are rare. I hope whomever it was is o.k.

At the top of the Downhill Freeway which leads to the creek there is a right hander. You roll down a rock face I'm sure it has a name I'm not sure what it is. It must be another 200m to the creek from there (maybe?)
just above that rockface is where they were located. I'm not sure where he crashed. 2 abmbulace car's were located 50-100m back up the track. 1 amulance was right next to him with all the ambulace officers doing thier thing. Right on top of that rockface.
