First 4x4 response tomorrow

[oneidadan]

Wish me luck, it's my first call out tomorrow to take staff to an old peoples home, we've got 18" of snow and more forecast for tonight (woo!). I've got to leave at 5.30am body is not accustomed to such early starts
Just in time the truck passed its MOT last week, and so far has been faultless in the snow, it's been handy taking family to work and picking them up again, even found a guy in the middle of a roundabout with a dislocated kneecap tonight, that was a bit surreal.

I did my first call out Tuesday evening and i was out for about 5 hours taking home carers around to different places.If you think you are going to be out for a while then make sure you got a flask with hot drink cause you'll need it

my twin sis who lives just outside Edinburgh could have done with guys like you..She works at the royal hospital for sick children, and what a job she had to get into work...

Good to hear you guys are doing your bit for others.... And having fun at the same time...

Good thinking, thankyou, i'm doing pick up and collections so I might be out for a while. I've got some extra clothes, tow rope, shovel and alot of diesel and that's all I could think of, i've not got my high-vis jacket yet

Well I got through it OK, like Stormforce I was picking up and dropping off carers all day, might be doing some stuff over the weekend for them too. Hope we get a little bit back for fuel, i've already done 150 miles

As Devon & Cornwall 4x4 Response we get 40p/mile fuel payment. I would assume that most Response groups would be similar, especially if part of the National 4x4 Response.
