Title: Ramblers Association right to roam
Post by: rokcrawlin on October 20, 2005, 09:15:56

I had the pleasure of errr um ( I know you lot will bludgeon me then catapult me out of the universe  :wink: ) Helping a rambler with a problem, he had just walked a local byway and a few paths and got back to his vehicle, he decided to do a three point turn to go out of the byway which is just round a bend, on proceeding to do his manouvre he dropped the rse end of his car into the dyke which was hidden by grass and had sat there waiting for a kindly person to help extract him for nearly three hours, it had rained heavily and dampened his urge to walk about 3 miles to the nearest farm, (Which my mate owns and i was on my way home from) he saw my headlights coming down the road and flagged me down and saw my motor with its winch, mud splattered from tixover and asked me sheepishly if i could extract him from his predicament, me being an amicable fellow extracted him and got the torch out to check he had not damaged his vehicle underneath as i walked behind the vehicle i noticed the R A sticker in the window , and politely said to him he might find it easier to get around the countryside in a 4x4 as they dont tend to get stuck too often, and with his like for walking he could get to more remote and beautifull areas with ease ...................he gave me £20 and said thanks for the advice and was off like a rabbit ..............I have a photo of the stuck car on my phone and have no idea what to do to transfer it onto the net any ideas ..........

You need to transfer the picture from your phone to your computer first, if you bought your phone new, then if you are lucky the instruction manual will tell you how, but you may need a cable or a bluetooth connection (which I suspect your haven't got).

What phone is it on?*

*(And don't say 'my phone'!)

rokcrawlin!
                If you can multi-media the picture to another phone or even Email it to yourself? from your phone to your normal email address or thirdly! if you know someone who can link their phone to their computer and they are in your immediate vicinity then you could Bluetooth it to them! I hope all that makes sense!
                                          Cheers......

Did you not ask him why he'd driven down a byway :wink:  :?:

Just send a picture message to your email address rather than an phone number.

Dig you lecture him on the damage he'd caused to the surroundings?

"It's b*****ds like you that get people like me a bad name".  Now that would have been funny :lol:

I should have gone to town on the "when venturing off-road always take another vehicle with you for situations of the sort you have found yourself in today" he should really find some friends that off-road
