Recovery in Bakewell, in practice

Bakewell is proper Peak District recovery. Dry-stone walls tight to the road, blind crests, visitors driving roads they do not know, and a car park that fills and empties with people who are not thinking about their tyres. The A6, A619 and A6020 all meet around here and none of them are forgiving.

The commonest jobs are the ones the walls cause: a wheel put off the edge on a passing place, a wing that has found stone, a car that has slid on wet limestone on a bend. Those are winch jobs, and pulling the vehicle back onto the road under control is what stops the recovery adding to the damage.

Phone signal is patchy in the dales. If you can, ring from where you have a bar or two and give the road number and a landmark — a bridge, a pub, a junction, or a what3words reference.

Whatever has happened, it is one of the eight things on the service list — most often a straight recovery, a jump start or a winch pull-out.

Bakewell questions

My car has hit a dry-stone wall near Bakewell. Can you recover it?
Yes, and it is one of the most common jobs on these roads. The vehicle gets winched back onto the road under control rather than dragged, so the recovery does not add to the damage. Ring 07394 784531 with the road number and the nearest village.
How long will you be coming out to the Peak District?
Bakewell is about thirty miles from the Rotherham base, so it is a longer run than the South Yorkshire towns and the ETA reflects that. We will give you a real number on the phone rather than pretend it is twenty minutes.
There is no signal where I am. What do I do?
Walk to where you can get a bar or two before you ring, then give the road number and anything you can see — a bridge, a pub, a gate, a junction. what3words is worth installing before you drive into the dales, because it turns a vague description into an exact spot.
