so she was coming from exeter, and has gone right towards plymouth??
how far did she get?

 

what is she telling you to do when you are on the phone?

 

J let me no when she gets home mate . could her old man not go out with the land rover?

 

yeah thats right, she was working late honiton way, she turned up towards plymouth and managed to get half way up before she couldnt move any further

 

4x4s cant even get near them,

 

hope she will be o.k mate, what ever you do dont go now its to late.

if you go and help at this time of night and something happend's to you the other's could be in danger trying to find you if you go missing, remember she is in the car she should be able to keep warm you cant if you go on foot ...

 

what you going to do mate? any plans.

 

i dont really know mate,

she doesnt want to leave her car there even if i did manage to get there

 

tv just said dartmoor rescue are going to come out, but they may still be there all night, as they expect lots more snow

this is fookin crazy

 

difficult one, might sound silly but how letting the tyres down! or is it to bad to make any difference, or going back down the hill to the garage at bottom of telegraph, news said they are proving warm drinks there

 

its too bad for that mate, its up over the sills

 

best thing is to just stay where you are and let her stay where she is till there is a chance to get people out. you go out to help you could end up worse than where she is.

 

not sure what else to sugest mate, if you think of anything or want a hand give me a call mate 07717525776 id be happy to help,

 

Don't panic too much mate and try to keep her calm. Resort to txt messages instead of calling (Unless she has a car phone charger) as it will pass more time sending messages.

Make her laugh if you can (Not good till she's had a wee) by saying I just saw you on the news. You can't park properly or something like that. It will calm her down and ease her worry.

I would be driving as close as I can without using the same road and walking the rest of the distance. Atleast she knows your on way to help, which will again calm her down and ease her worry. Take a sandwich, warm tea and some petrol if ya can.

Good luck mate Hope she gets sorted asap.

 

ok mate cheers nath il see what happens

 

Mate i really feel for you as i wouldnt be able to relax until i knew my mrs was fine and with me so hope you get her back soon keep texting as said above and keep her calm etc. Let us know when shes home and ok

Tony

 

Im same, if my Emma was out stuck somewhere there is no way I could feel ok til I knew she was safe.
I would be gettin wrapped up warm as I could and doing everything I could to get her home

 

its fookin shite being completly useless sat here.


the roads are closed about 7 miles either side of her, theres no way i could get there in any sort of time

 

Not good at all mate

I very nearly ended up stuck on sunday night, and wasnt relishing a night in the car as I had the fuel light on too, so no chance of running the engine for very long if I was so I kept switching it off when traffic wasnt moving and it was fucking scarey how quickly the car got cold, so its a bloody good job she has a blanket.

Hope she manages to cope ok, going to be a fucking long night for both of you, you must feel properly helpless which is never nice!

 

I feel for ya mate shit when ya cant do nothing .

 

local radio have told them not to leave there cars unless they are escorted

 

Make sure she takes that good advice!

Night in car = unpleasant and cold
Night outside = potentially very fucking dangerous in those conditions

 

fuck that means walking from penn inn!!

 

If she's going to be there overnight, then id be getting over there mate. Take some supplies and a can of fuel and get walking mate. 10 miles isnt really that far.

 

yeah, i think she will do

 

i think thats where they are stopping cars from going mate,

im not overly sure,

i know for a fact if you go plymouth way you cant get as far as chudleigh


theres over 200cars stuck they reckon

 

i would do to mate.i have worked all day outside in - conditions and done 1-2 hrs at between -7 and -3 .that should be plenty of time to make it to her.thats what i would do but its up to you.

 

Just keep txting her and calling her, keep her knowing you are there and as soon as the sun rises get out and doing all you can!

 

Bollocks to that, would be well into the early hours of the moring before he got there in those conditions and he'd be putting himself at risk.

No point when he still wont be able to take her anywhere anyway, will just guarentee she spends the night worrying like fuck about if he is safe or not IMHO.

 

right..

local radio just announced to them that rescue is starting from the top of the hill, and working its way down.

my mrs is just over half way down, so a couple of hours and she will be taken to a warm hall for the night..

 

Excellent news mate

 

it'll take at least 3 hours to walk that in snow and they'll have her out by then, its all over all the news channels now so they'll been told to pull their fingers out!! if she sarts panicing or runs out of fuel ring me and we'll wing it and see how close we can get.

 

sorry takes me so long to type i missed that mate, good news!!

 

ok mate, i reckon she will be ok

lol at wing it

 

Great news

 

i don't agree with chip but like he says its his opinion. its up to you what you want to do,if she sounds fine on the phone i would stay at home and phone her often,if she is a bit upset i would go,but thats me.

 

Just dont tell her then and turn up How pleased would she be to see him then

To be honest, id sacrifice wlaking in the cold for a couple of hours without doubt if it means she will have even a couple of hours in better/warmer conditions. Its not going to kill you if you wrap up well and go for it.

 

Nice one!

 

good news,stay put then

 

10 miles in snow and ice is a fucking hell of a march, if you can average 2mph I reckon it would be fucking good progress, and the potential for you to end up a lot slower if its hilly is there, not much use to her if in the morning he is only halfway there and she needs him at home.
