AlanW Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I know that the club runs sometimes utilizes this particular lane. But if you are travelling along Copyholt Lane, Banks Green heading towards the Queens Head, just after the turning into Middle Lane there is a small coppice on the left hand side just as the lane starts to descend.I was dive bombed by a buzzard this afternoon on the way home from work, and apparently it is not the first time that this has happened, as someone else has also reported a simlar incident in the exact same location!Dont ask me why, but l got a sort of sixth sense that something was coming at me from behind and then wallop. A bloody great thud on the top of my helmet with enough force to compress my head down into my shoulders and all I then see is a huge buzzard flying up at 45 degrees away from me.The unexpected thud combined with the sound of its talons against the plastic of my helmet isnt a nice experiance I can tell you.Please take care when in this area.

Sean Barker Posted July 4, 2016 Report Share Posted July 4, 2016 Not mocking Alan.Funnily enough we were discussing this on Sundays club run and the general consensus of opinion was that it must have been a genuinely terrifying experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
