Glenn Burnage, a 68 year old local cyclist, had a amazing escape after he plunged 100ft over the cliff from the path between Hordle Cliff and Taddiford Gap
Glenn was on a regular mountain bike ride, and as he navigated the ruts along the path towards Milford on Sea the afternoon ride nearly became a tragedy.
Within a split second, he fell from the top of the cliff, hitting the sides and very luckily landed on a muddy plateau at the bottom.
The full might of the combined emergency services were soon at the scene after he was able to make a 999 call.
Astonishingly, ex-competitive cyclist and time trialist, Glenn escaped with only cuts and bruises after the near-100ft cliff fall.
