Winching and Recovery Courses
Looking for a recommendation for a winching and recovery course. Not too worried where as can travel and make a weekend of it but based in South East.
I haven't done such a course for 30 years and was also going to take my 18 year old too anyway.
Any suggestions anyone?
Can't find owt on the t'internet.D3 07 SE - still going strong
D3 07 HSE - gone to car heaven
FL1 - gone to Romania
D3 05 HSE - gone to a divorce diet
D1 V8 manual - gone but not forgotten
RR Classic - gone to car heaven

No recommendations I'm afraid, but I think the Land Rover Experience centres run winch courses, so might be worth a look.Andy

Hi,
do you have a motor/rally club near you ?
We have a friend who did rally recovery and went along to one of their winch training days up in north Yorkshire, it was a good weekend
We did a few lanes on the way there, walked to the pub as a group for a meal and a pint in the evening, camped over night in the guys garden, training day then home.
One of the organisers said you can always spot the Laners from the Recovery guys
Recovery guys have sandwich's and a flask
Laners get the kettle on and have a fry up/Omelette or the likes
May be worth investigating that route Transit! 2019
