Volunteering to support the Covid-19 Vaccine efforts

January 24, 2021 by ATUK

I am sure that within the membership of All Terrain UK, there will be several members like me who also use their vehicles in a volunteering role with a local 4×4 response group.
The group with which I volunteer, Beds and Cambs 4×4 response CIO was pleased to be asked to supply volunteers to work alongside British Red Cross, and Cambridgeshire search and rescue, in helping to manage the logistics for a GP led mass vaccination session in North Cambridgeshire.

It is said that “there is no such thing as bad weather, just inappropriate clothing” and Saturday proved this once and for all! ATUK Member and our National H&S Officer joined other BC4X4R volunteers and turned out early in the morning in snow and heavy rain meeting up with volunteers from other volunteer groups, British Red Cross and Cambridgeshire Search ad Rescue (CamSAR)

Our “very appropriate clothing” proved ideal for the conditions with Alan counting 8 layers at one point, and hi-vis waterproof over trousers proving their worth too! The team quickly established a one way pedestrian and queuing system, with space for social distancing and arrangements for managing traffic with limited car parking, the logistics and radio communications experience of BC4X4R proved invaluable. A good multi organisation group of volunteers worked well all day so that by 630pm around 500 vaccinations had been given to a range of elderly, vulnerable people and also a good number of NHS staff needing this crucial protection.

Plenty of good natured banter across the team kept everyone cheerful, with the sun even putting in a brief appearance during the lunch break allowing a Land Rover Defender style “wing top” picnic! Spirits were good all day despite the atrocious weather conditions with patients thanking everyone continuously and complimenting the way the event was organised. The joy at getting a chance to receive the vaccine was matched by what was a first trip out of home for a while for most folk.

Many more volunteers from our groups will be continuing to support this vital work for the rest of the week, with the centre aiming to provide around 4,000 vaccines during this time. The work followed on from the excellent work undertaken on more usual 4×4 response work supporting flood emergencies across Beds and Cambs during the Christmas flooding in 2020.”

Overland and Adventure Sussex (OAAS) Joins as Affiliates

January 1, 2021 by Brad Unwin

All Terrain UK is pleased to announce our affiliation with Overland and Adventure Sussex (OAAS) who are a responsible and reputable organisation with great knowledge and presence in Sussex.

OAAS will be assisting us in keeping SmartTrail up-to-date using their expert local knowledge.

Benn McIntyre from OAAS Said “Hey! We are Overland and Adventure Sussex or OAAS for short! The team of 3 here, Benn, Matt and Dan decided to put together the group to find fellow enthusiasts local to us. We regularly (pre-covid) host “newbie days” where we show those new to the hobby the local lanes. We do our very best to promote responsible green laning. In the last 4 months our group has grown to over 300 members and we’re creating a great local community! We encourage all 4×4 enthusiasts no matter what the vehicle! Our admins drive a Suzuki Vitara, a Range Rover P38 and also a MK2 RAV4! We have members with all sorts of 4×4’s from extreme challenge trucks to 4×4 pandas! Our group is very conversation heavy, with a daily topic posted by our admin to help encourage conversation and create friendships. We work closely with ATUK and GLASS to keep our lanes in tip top condition and do our best to help repair them where and when we can. Once Covid allows the group hope to plan more Laning days, Camping weekends, BBQ’s and meet ups! We can’t wait to work more closely with All Terrain UK now we are an affiliated group!”

If your club is interested in becoming affiliated with All Terrain UK, Green Lanings newest and most progressive organisation that’s dedicated to its members and the responsible use of lanes, then don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.
