Just thawing out from a very cold but lovely weekend away in Bakewell,stayed at a lovely site which is a CCC site with good facilities as expected.I did however have a very unfortunate accident whilst on site luckily apart from being very shook up I only suffered minor bruises and abbrasions.The reason that I feel the need to rant is that the badly placed decorative half barrell filled with crocus that I fell over was placed directly in the walking route to the toilet/shower block and was hidded to view out of the floodlight beam,you just could not see it as it was in the shadow of the roof and did not have any light colours on it.I fell banging my head shoulder arm and knees landing on a small cobble kerb,it bloody hurt Ill tell ya!! This happened on the Friday evening,I reported this to reception on Saturday morning having suffered an almost sleepless night in pain.I asked to see an Accident book and was told "We have one but its not for the public to see" I then explained what had happened to me and did make a point of saying that it wasnt a complaint I was making it was a reccomendation that the misplaced barrel was moved to be in the light where everyone could see it.I think this was a reasonable request.I was told it would be sorted.
Imagine my disgust when I found out this morning (Sunday) that not only had the barrell not been moved that a lady had fallen over it who as worst luck would have it happened to be a heamophilliac badly gashing her leg and had to be rushed to hospital to stem the blood loss.
Im so annoyed I cant tell you,it just seems very lax that I had reported a hazard which had not been sorted.
I did not raise the subject again with reception as I would have been too annoyed to get my point across in a reasonable manner after the knowledge that someone else had suffered worse and after I had reported it and been told it would be sorted out.
I feel like reporting it to the CCC club as it neednt have happened and Im sure it will happen again!!!
