There is already a network of 4x4 user groups helping out in their local area

A snowplough attachment for Freelanders? What a good idea!
Could push all the crap Minis, Clios etc out of my way.
Daft cow neighbour with mini cannot move away on the flat in 1" of snow.
It's about time there were laws to penalize drivers who attempt to drive in these conditions in vehicles not equipped to cope. A nice big fine and points for causing danger and obstruction to other road users who have suitable vehicles and the skill to use them safely.

It's just a thought Skynet.
There has just been a news item on local tv showing just how stupid some drivers have been. Two lads in a Transit going down a single track road lost all traction downhill, slid out of control for 500 yards, a hedge stopped them going over into a deep gulley. AA man being interviewed couldnt believe they got away with it uninjured. £1000 bill to recover it, as stupidity NOT covered.
Every winter here, there are examples of people trying to drive in winter conditions and causing themselves and others problems and danger. The road over the Pennines from Holmfirth to Glossop runs 100yds from my front door and is closed by wintry conditions nearly every year, sometimes for days if not weeks, it's closed now, thats 8 days and the local lanes are lethal too. But every year we hear about idiots who get stuck, crash, block the roads so ploughs cannot get through etc.

you were wetting the bed the other day when faced with a 150 mile trip - Scotlands at least 200 miles from Devon so that's you fooked
No I wasn't wetting the bed. I planned to go but friends/family advised me not to and gave me the "are you mad?" look. Despite the fact that I thought it was no major deal, I thought I'd ask here. + I actually left before I even got the chance to read half the posts.
Plus your estimation is a tad off. It's actually over 400 miles from here to Scotland.
pussy I did 840 miles and a ferry in 24 hours
(admittedly I felt ill when I crawled into bed.)
Well I did Exeter to Glasgow and back (886 miles) in a day back last year when Cumbria was having those bad floods. Hardly a pussy, maybe a tad silly though.

If that had been in a Freelander, then comfort would have made the trip betterer.

Fanatic, if you have a Freelander 1.8 k series, then don't be ashamed. Youre more than welcome to join in rescuing Scotland with the rest of the Freelanders and their owners, who have already agreed to help.1.8 k series?
We now have 4, which means any motorway can be cleared. Also A roads, with 2 Freelanders spare to concentrate on pulling others from ditches.
Those of you on here who dont have Freelanders, Storm and Sean especially, can also join us. Im sure the helpers would be more than happy to carry passengers. Especially those impressed by the Freelanders ability in snow.
