Not portable, got two fixed ones, however, also have 100's of licensed business radios which i always have some of in the Landy, so, can always give you one of those so you can at least communicate, all be it not hear everything on the CB.

Ill have one don't worry about that, I was thinking for the noobs in the snow, spotting will be a lot easier if we can talk to them instead of just signals ect

This was on the way to last years big Derbyshire run (the snowy one!)



And this was later on in the day!!!

Just gone back through earlier posts bump know its your call bug last time we were out there in snow met at 9 n the day flew by 6 of us was still out in the dark ! Lunch/brunch kitchens were everywhere fab day not enough time so plz earlier start ?? Early bird n all that cheers mark

i dont mind an earlier start either. Im just happy to be getting out after 9 months.

looks like i have some work to do on mine to be ready. bring it on. :lol:

Yep, I'm a keeno for an early start, I like to meet at first light at this time of year, at the best out of the day and if its snowy you really want to see that sunrise!

Get the brews on at the meet point at 7ish then get cracking at first light

aint it illegal to be up at dawn on a sun ??

In short, yes. We use CB's to talk to each other within a few hundred meters most of the time, not over several Km's. If you were going to use it daily to talk to people around your town, then you'd want to spend more money on something a bit better, but, as you'll use it a few times a month on a Sunday there is no point spending loads of money on a CB!

Thunderpole have been kicking around for ages doing CB's, so, although i've never used one, i can't see you having many problems with the CB you've posted up.

done stanage loads scince then, just the first time i ever did it was in 6-8 inch of snow ,nothin like breaking in a noob slowley is there!
shame its closed to us as it is a stunning view up there esp with a covering of snow!

I mean, we are assuming it will be snowy, there's no refunds if it just rains all day

Seeing as I have time, thought I'd do some extra planning regards groups and vehicle placement in said groups.

There needs to be a mix of prepared vehicles and standard vehicles in each group so the prepared vehicles can help the standard ones, especially when we're down a tight icy lane and the only two cars that can help are the ones directly in front or behind.

So.

Please list by your name your winch status and recovery point status.

I will use this format: Winch F/R Recovery F/R etc.
