Hathersage sits inside the Derbyshire coverage area, about 23 miles from the Rotherham base.

Recovery in Hathersage, in practice

The Hope Valley is the nearest proper Peak District to Sheffield, which means it is busy with people whose cars are not really set up for it. The A6187 climbs out of Sheffield past Surprise View and Millstone Edge, drops into Hathersage, and carries on through Bamford, Hope and Castleton with laybys full of walkers and climbers most weekends.

The calls here split neatly. Weekends and holidays are visitors — flat batteries after a day on the hill with the lights left on, cars that will not start in a laylay at Surprise View, the occasional vehicle that has misjudged a verge. Weekdays and winter are locals on roads that ice early and thaw late.

Winnats Pass and the roads above Castleton are steep, narrow and unforgiving, and anything that comes off up there is a winch job rather than a tow.

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.

Broken down in Hathersage? Do this first

Off the carriageway if it still moves. Hazards on. Everyone out through the left-hand doors and behind a barrier — not sat in the car, not stood beside it. Then ring 07394 784531 with the road, the postcode or a what3words reference. The full five steps are on the home page.

Hathersage questions

Do you cover Castleton and Winnats Pass?
Yes. Winnats and the roads above Castleton are steep and narrow, so anything that leaves the road up there is a controlled winch recovery rather than a tow. Ring 07394 784531 and say exactly where on the pass you are.
My battery is flat in a car park after a walk.
Very common up here, usually lights or a boot left open all day. A mobile jump start normally sorts it at the roadside. If the battery will not hold a charge afterwards, we will tell you rather than send you off to break down again in the dark.
Can you get to the Snake Pass?
Yes, the A57 over the Snake is part of the Derbyshire coverage. It is exposed, it closes in bad weather, and signal is poor in places, so ring from wherever you can get a bar or two and give the nearest landmark or a what3words reference.
