Basically we provide logistical support to the public sector Emergency Services, Fire, Ambulance, Police etc. and to other needy groups.

This may mean something as simple as using our vehicles to tow a trailer to a display or possibly even a soup kitchen. Our vehicles could be called on to take a Doctor to an outlying or inaccessible area.

We can also help out in times of flood or other unforeseen conditions or disaster and will also help to recover stranded walkers etc if required.

What we are NOT is a taxi service or an emergency service.

We will only respond when approached by official bodies at our discretion. We only respond to situations that involve hazard in pairs, for the sake of safety, and we cannot carry children without supervision.

To be a member an annual fee is charged. In return for this each driver will be trained and assessed in the use of their 4x4 in a responsible and correct manner in on and off-road situations and how to recover others in a proper and safe manner.

We are part of a national network and our area covers the N.W. of England up to Cumbria, across to the Yorkshire Borders and down to the Welsh border. Other areas may well be covered by a different local group so please see the links sections for details of these and the National Association.
