I don't have a winch and am about an hour away, but can help out if no one closer can.

blue beasty · Feb 2, 2015

Waldo, can you PM me exact location and contact number please?

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 2, 2015

Am travelling - so not good connection.
Name if nearest big town?

BB can yu handle this? Txt if necessary. OP tel no?

james6546 · Feb 2, 2015

Google suggests it's an equal distance between Buxton and Macc.

I have straps and stuff if he reckons he can be pulled out without a winch.

blue beasty · Feb 2, 2015

Come on Waldo, location and phone number please....

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 2, 2015

Chezvegas can't help

blue beasty · Feb 2, 2015

Asking if they can assist tomorrow because they are closest to where I think Waldo is.

James there's 7 others closer than you so hopefully someone can step up seeing as we have a bit of time

We're looking for a preferably winch equipped landy that can give Waldo a pull near Buxton tomorrow after 5pm.

Anyone?

Just curious..... is the casualty level with the road? or below road level?
What is the average length of landy-winch cable?

WaldoXS · Feb 2, 2015

Below road level
Worst case I could run my own winch cable under the axles and out the back, secure it with a shackle to prevent it sliding across into the wheels

blue beasty · Feb 2, 2015

Anyone know and have a number for Lampro and/or scotty28176?

They've volunteered for lzir but the numbers have disappeared

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 2, 2015

I would suggest at least 2, poss 3 vehicles. At least to use as anchors and possibly cable extensions. Roped together.

The Mad Hat Man · Feb 2, 2015

Pm them for info?

james6546 · Feb 2, 2015

I'm not really free tomorrow, have normal work, then pub work in the evening. I can probably spare a couple of hours mid afternoon if you really need me though
