Me recovering a fender bender.with my favorite vehicle0Ralph, I remember the time you were called out with the Scammell to recover a car that had been driven over the cliffs at Marsden Grotto, If I recall correctly it got stuck on the steps halfway down. The Scammell made the job look easy, that winchrope must have been 2inches in diameter !! I dont think it did the wooden steps much good, For anyone who doesn’t know the area that cliff is 100ft high. regards Kev. Ps. pity you didn’t have a camera with you.
Kevin l recall the job very well as it took three men or a Landrover to pull out the rope, and l do not like heights there was one thing certain the old Scammell always did the job it never took prisoners. It would travel any where no matter what the ground conditions. hope to see you on Saturday night at the stream do. Ralph
Didn’t make the “Steam Do” Ralph, had a family wedding to go to instead. 
regards Kev.
