I have photo's of the road and phone numbers for 2 witnesses but to be honest I think you are right Wheelers. I will look into it but the longer I think about it it just doesn't seem very practical to find & sue the farmer ? This was the bike shops advice and I think it is a bit unrealistic tbh. I have contacted the council and they are going to send a claim form. I have a cyclist witness who says he came off his bike & rang 101 the night before and the number of a guy on a motorbike that went over 1.5 hours after me so some of that should count for something but it's a pretty new situation for me so I don't know. I think I'm best ringing insurance and asking them how I can co-ordinate the claim with a claim from the council. I think 3 of us ion such short succession makes it a real claim but if the council don't pay up & pursue the farmer I'm not sure I have the energy to try and chase down the farmer. Although it is pretty bad 3 incidents came to light within 1.5 to 2 hours...
