as a side note , by the sounds of it he didnt ask on the honda forum, otherwise there would have been a long line stuck , lol

here’s one of my concerns, if a new member comes on and asks for help, then if only one person goes out , only to meet the person who is supposedly stuck who is actually met by a few more people who then nicks their landy
do feel LZIR should only be there for someone who is known on the forum and not someone with just 1 x post
just a thought
This has been discussed before and why we recommend going in a group of, at least, 2. Unfortunately that doesn’t always happen in the eagerness to be there first.

Genius! This might just work.. you ring MHM and I’ll meet you there..
apologies and do understand it’s finding solutions where it’s helping mates and not allowing it to be abused , but like everything there are always some who try it on

Not saying no recoveries ever, but off piste somewhere as sketchy as it sounds was, in hindsight, put a member and their car at risk. It’s for us as individuals to decide what is possible and what’s not on arrival, it’s something we need to learn from. I’ve not read every single post so I should probably feck off!
no need to apologise. Systems can always be improved. My apologies to those that think my posts seem officious or demanding. I do always stress that Lzir is a volunteer service. Nothing is obligatory, however it is a source of frustration when those that are local to an op and have signed up to Lzir, don’t reply within 22 secs, and we then need to contact those further afield. Some have driven a couple of hours to help.
It’s a difficult line to tread. No he has been a bit quiet on here and FB since.... but we have his number
If you read the first 24 posts of the thread, it didn’t sound dodgy, or off piste

that’s terrible if he has gone quiet , i hope he at least covered fuel costs etc , if not wonder how big the bill will be for him if the police notice an abandoned vehicle
alas, in life as we all know , always hope if u help others that one day when u want help someone will,
Judging by the long convoys (8/10 ) of very well equipped Land Rovers which pass our house on their routes to/between/from their off-road routes, bearing the logos of specific 4x4 clubs from the area involved in this thread, I just wondered why the OP didn't try to use one of these. Perhaps he did .... with no interest from them.
FB wales4x4Greenlaners were also involved - 2 of them helped our guys. yes they knew the area and they asked if he had permission to be there.

That's good that 1 of the local clubs responded, but there are more about who don't seem to have done so.

It just boils down to desicion making if you attend someone. Do I attempt recovery or just do a sandwich run til proffessionals/someone competent to recover safely arrives..?

OK, it was a cock-up from the start. Poor information particularly, some mistakes were made, and I accept my responsibility for those which I made, but at least we can take heart that the OP's vehicle wasn't damaged by any action taken by LZIR, there was no way I could get enough grip to even move it. After I tried just twice I realised that a tractor was needed and decided to vacate the area and that was "the rock upon which I perished".
If his vehicle was damaged by "others" then that's his lookout.

Did you lose it or break it?
I have taken to facing mine backwards after forgetting yet again to revolve it at the start of the greenlaning day and it catching on a branch, Mine is now a glued together puzzle.
Cheers
