RAYNET Called out in Wales

jims-terrano · 20-12-2010, 01:01

This little bit of info has been sent out today. Wonder who the OC is?

Operational update from South Glamorgan
Heavy snow falls in the Cardiff area on 17th and overnight on the 18th December saw most roads in the county impassable. As reported in the local news, on 18th December the University Hospital of Wales (UHW) made a plea for help from any 4 x 4 owners to volunteer taking
NHS staff into the hospital to work their shift.

On the 19th December South Glamorgan Group provided assistance
to the NHS and Police with their 4x4 vehicles transporting staff to the University Hospital of Wales.

The South Glamorgan group, alongside a local rescue team CAVRA
and the 4 x 4 owners club, did well with their support ferrying staff back and forward throughout the day.

Those South Walians are so gay....we've got well over a foot in Carms but past Abergavenny down to Newport tonight there was barely a couple of inches!

Impassable my arse LOL

Pity you can't trade this public spirited goodwill for some rights of way/green lane access... they will want us off their treasured BOATS n RUPS come summer....

my mate and I spent time towing cars up a motorway slip road as they were wheel spinning and getting no where.
