Would anybody be interested in a winching course run by Jim Samson of
Overlander Training at Cannock Chase in Staffordshire?
I've just been talking to him and he's willing to run one for us if I can
get four people together (yes, that is just four).
The format would be a half day of learning the arithmetic and geometry
required to use a winch safely and within its limits. This would be
followed by half a day of basic practise in techniques. The second day
would be a case of going up on Cannock Chase and setting up scenarios and
recovering from them.
The cost for the two day course would be somewhere between £185-200
depending on how many vehicles come. We'd need at least two 4x4s with at
least one of them equipped with a winch (I'll volunteer mine) - one to
recover and one to recover with.
If all the cars have winches then each driver can practise on his own
equipment assuming Jim believes it to be safe (he has "opinions" on things
such as Plasma Rope and underspecced cables - don't even *think* about
using unstamped brightwork on this course).
The dates we have on offer are:
19th/20th June
3rd/4th July
11th/12th September
2nd/3rd October
So, if anybody's interested in this can they please let me know at:
[email protected]
If I haven't heard from anybody inside a week of this post I'll cancel the
event.
