King of the desert, Sand Yeti

Black eye and a broken wrist

When you do those sort of miles in that sort of terrain..... you gotta be made of very tough stuff indeed and I would imagine a few bumps along the way is par for the course.

Good to see your still smiling, hope you mend quickly.

Cheers,

John

Doh! Heal up fast!

PTW, just tell him that you were attempting to educate those of us across the pond as to the dangers of small sand dunes! :lol:

I noticed the smile also. You can still weld with a wrist cast, eh?

Can you grip a handle?

Hope you heal quickly.

aw man!Yeti's one of my heros! Get well soon and get back in the buggy.:wee:

Heal well Dave! We want a story to go with this one. It's been awhile since we heard one from you.

get well soon

popeyethewelder - 5-3-2011 at 10:02 AM

Oh we'll get a story out of this one for sure, he is having a titanium plate and screws to fix the break, him and Georgio are already planning on using that to go on a buggy somewhere, and from what I know of Dave, my guessing is he will be the worlds worst patient when he gets home, and I am sure he will be back in the buggy before the cast is off.


and for those not familiar with the King of the Dunes great stories

THEY ARE HERE>>>have fun

So sorry to hear about this.

I thought at 1st that you had hurt yourself Carl. Please don't take any big chances from now until we see you at NABX !

Looking forward to hearing the whole story.

Here are hopes for a speedy recovery !

All the guys were calling for me to go to Mablethorpe today...very tempted, but my suitcase is already packed for NABX, with my harness and accessories, but like you said, and thank you for your concern, but I didn't want to take any chances this close to the event.

that's a hard decision to make till you envision all you've done to get this close. Especially knowing that your buggy is only a half hour from the lakebed! :singing:

Been reading PTW and Sand Yetis post since 99! Get well my friend! The metal made me faster!:evil:......aj

Amazing stories there! Just going out into that vast desert and making your way back amazes me. Heal well, Sand Yeti, and keep those truly great accounts, and wonderful videos coming. Lucky you to have such an avid videographer for a partner!

Get well soon Sand Yeti!

May your recovery be as fast as your kites. Use the time to congure up a great trip through a new part of the dessert!!:wee:
