aup I can only help at weekends due to working away all week if that's any use. I'm at somercotes J28 M1. I've got basic tools, spanners, sockets, welder, gaffer tape. I drive a defender 90 with a winch and tow straps. I'm near paddocks but they shut sat dinner. would do 30mile or more if desperate

contacted & replied.

Not sure if I should add my details to the map?


Location: Wasdale, West Lake District
Recovery: Basic towrope, can probably handle up to 5ton (more if combined with your own towrope, chain etc.) Alternatively, during winter (gets rough up here!) if situation is too serious, can collect you and bring you to a warm open fire and recover your vehicle when things have improved :p I work from home, so always around.
Tools: Basic tools, spanners, screwdrivers, sockets, air compressor with tyre gun and other tools etc. Oh and tea and coffee making facilities :p
Assist Radius: Probably 20-30 miles, more if in serious situation. Also willing to discuss if rescuee wants taking further afield.

One thing to note, there is absolutely no mobile phone reception where I am, and this applies to many areas of the Lakes within that radius, usually farmers are happy to lend you a phone, and there is an odd phonebox here and there.

Update to my above post, after towing some German holidaymakers in a 7ton Winnebago out of a ditch on a 30% gradient the other week (successfully), the towrope snapped. On the plus side, I can now handle 10ton thanks to my new towrope!! although won't likely ever pull anything that big :p

The funny bit was a guy who appeared and helped guide them while I towed, once I had got them out, he went over to the back of the Defender, slapped the back of it where the British flag vinyl was, pointed at it to the Germans and then went "BRITISHHHH!!!"

LOL!

@FMog, you won't be added to the map unless you provide details to that man with the mad hats or the beast or blueness :)
