Sorry for the late reply we are all sorted now thanks for everyone's help! There was 4 people on 2 trucks we didn't go alone! We both have decent tyres and both winched up but the snow was that deep we struggled

My bad
Glad to hear it’s all sorted now.
Hope you stick around and return the compliment by signing up to LZIR :).

Good to know yer safe now. Next time take a snow shovel and be careful of yer time. If yer had of frozen to death we wouldn't been able to see the pic's. Does look a bit deep.
 
Yes and it's appreciated, I'm not knocking anyone and certainly not your generous offer.

It's more that a few years ago we'd have had half a dozen Landys converging from all over and the forum would have been buzzing with excitement and desperate for news.

I'm not sure what's changed. It's not a dig at anyone, it just makes me a little sad.
it maybe that people are reluctant to help someone who joined just to get rescued
 
Having attended a fair few transport related chemical emergencies over the years I can confidently say that no matter how well prepared you think you are, it's never enough. Also, no matter how good the info received is, even when that info is provided by the Police or Fire Service, it is often wrong or incomplete. For any one individual to attempt a recovery in an off road location in conditions like that would be complete madness. I'm not surprised there wasn't a flood of volunteers. I think LZIR is a great idea but there needs to be controls and rules.

The controls and rules are decided by the individuals involved.
If you don’t want to go alone, that is fine by us. We just inform local peeps and leave it to you to decide.
 
At my suggestion
I’ll give you a for instance
About 3 year ago, I drove 100 mile each way to rescue a defender who had gone off the side of the road in the peaks, we eventually got the defender out of the ditch and the drivers father gave us £20,
And as far as I know the rescued person hasn’t been back on here since,
It turns into a cheap rescue service for people

You didn’t have to go. It was your choice.
100 miles ea way is a long trip. Good on you.
One assumes you didnt do it for the money?
