North East Search And Rescue Volunteers Required!
firedoghandler:
No there are only three areas that I know of that do this work. Here in the North East, Bucks and Oxon and Cambridgeshire.
I do know that if this is successful here in the North East it may be rolled out Nationally within the Discovery Owners Club but that has yet to be voted on with the committee.
Heres hoping as we feel there is merit in what we are doing and it certainly helps our case when it comes to the anti 4x4 crowd. Maybe they will stop and think this Winter when one of their relatives or someone they know is rescued by one of OUR 4x4's.
We still need a lot more people in the North East. Please people help us help our communities.

http://www.somerset4x4response.org.uk/ also do a similar thing.
Would you like this link to be put on the LRO forum? There are several peeps there from the north-east.

Surprised there is not one setup for the Derbyshire area?
Budgie:
We were thinking about a similar thing up here on the island.
During the storms we had in January this year none of the road ambulances could go out due to the highsided nature of the vehicles and wind speeds of upto 100 mph.
We only have one 4x4 Coastguard vehicle & 1 4x4 Police vehicle here in Stornoway (there are others around the islands) and they were assisting with road closures, transporting oxygen & baby milk around and rescueing people.
You may have seen two of Coastguards on the BBC's 'Coast' programme when the visited here. ;)
The only problem is that we don't have any type of 4x4 club up here. :roll:
I guess that's a que to start one then. #-o
Sharpshooter:
Being a CoastGuard. I would Volenteer, But i think it would take me a while to get there. Its nice to see people doing this sort of thing. :D
