i recovered a load of cars that had got stuck skided off the road and ended up in ditch's, even had to assist a bloke in a disco who didnt know how to use the diff lock, he had bought it so he could go out and earn some money out of other people getting stuck at the bottom of the hill he lives on, only to get assistance from me showing him how to drive it properly, only to get ignored and told "your only a kid what do you know, i have been driving for over 40 years" i said "if you dont want my help then goodbye" i went and helped a couple of struggling 2wd's and small lorries up the hill and when i got back down he had moved about a foot, and came over and asked how was it i was able to drive up and down like that yet he was spinning and not moving, all i said was is "i obviously know how to drive properly, and you should not have disrespected me and took some of my FREE advice, you are safer not knowing as you will cause serious injuries to some one else, as you dont have the proper kit for recoverys"

Sider:
Towed a few cars on Thursday with our 88", then spent most of Fryday morning out with Spyderman, learning a bit more of the "trade" and trying to be helpful.

Ready to start all over again tomorrow morning.

the small roads around buxton were far too dangerous to do last tuesday when i last went out, sheet ice,
there where three of us, two kitted out landies and a kitted out frontera,
i lead and instead of get out our tow ropes other than to aid the decent of the frontera after deciding on road was to bad, we ended up teaching people how to drive :| they wernt going fast enough to get to the top so they ended up stuck in the bottom of the dips :lol:
if anyone knows the goyt valley road stay away when its bad, on on of the steep slopes in a controlled fashion the middle car in the convoy spun around on the ice so we made it safe and got it back straight and two 4x4s ( cant say more than that for legal reasons ) came down not in a controlled way far too fast and smashed into a mates landy who was at the back  :| felt sorry for him but in fairness the only damage done was the rusty cross member bent and he had a pannel or two bent lucky he was in the landy

then when we made it back out of the valley the way we came in we were greated by police and fire services that where attending to a chav who had failed to turn the corner and had driven off the road to find a 10 foot drop  :shock:
another 30cms of snow predicted in next two days here i better buy a new lylo to sledge on  :lol:

cheers kieran
