These AA crews are literally prepared to climb mountains to get the job done….

I’m sure some bantering went on about this…

“Well, Stu, your walk round is going to be a bit longer this morning…..about four miles longer!”

Glad they’re all safe though.

Thanks. Not sure why it didn’t go like that.

Reminded me of when the Leuchars SAR Wessex got weathered in overnight up in the Scottish highlands, assisting the local MRT. It was a fairly exposed position and the MRT used the Wessex as a 'strong point' to attach safety ropes to assist the SAR crew descend off the hill !
