Build stopped - till October - leg in plaster

[UK-Corlett]

On Friday I ruptured my Achilles tendon.

Apparently 12 weeks in plaster and 8 weeks physiotherapy.

My build was just getting past the per-build phase and there would be something substantial to see.


The only good news is the weather is fine.

I also have a Teardrop in stock so my summer hols, touring France, can still go ahead. So if you see an old man in a sun hat drinking wine in camp site in France don't ask how the build is going.

Sorry to hear of your injury I hope your recovery goes smoothly and you're back to building by fall. Take care.

Get well buddy. I've pulled my Achilles before and it hurts like a bitch.

Not fun! Hope that you heal soon!

Sorry to hear you've become injured.
Look at it this way: That gives you more time to dream of what you want to do and how you'll do it once you're mended!

Clive, sorry to hear about the tendon & the amount of time spent with added plaster ballast. At least plan "B" is going to work out well for the summer & you can still travel & sample some good wine. Use the time to do more brain-storming & thinking about the build! I'm sure it will give you some more ideas to ponder & new thoughts about how it all goes together.

Ouch! You poor thing,
Rest up and go through the build process in your head.
Might actualy be helpful to have a bit of a break in some ways.
I know my 3 week break has helped with some decisions

Thanks fr following the build.

Thanks for the support, 3 days with the plaster on and the reality of 12 weeks is hitting home.

I have some friends coming to mothball the project.

Perhaps I will do that computer model fluid dynamics drag program.
