Navigation to the Station.....Part 3


By now the clock has been ticking, it could be 10 to 15 minutes since you left the house, nearly there, Oh Broad Road Car Park, there is a little clue here, yes its a Car Park and those visitors don't like anyone overtaking as they think they are about to lose a parking space. Down to the entrance to the boat park and hopefully the attendant has done a wonderful job clearing the road, the last double bend and the station at last is in view. Into the building, kit up, wait for the others to arrive and ......here we go again, this time in reverse, but this time we can use the blue lights and siren to get us safely through the traffic. (The photo was taken this week, if only it was always like that!)

Cracking blog. Your posts on 'nav to station' strike a chord with me as at my old station, Inverness I had to try and get from on side of the city to the station regularly. It was an 'experience' at the best of times!

Keep the blog posts coming.

I'm glad someone is reading it! Whether its the Coastguard, Lifeboat, Mountain Rescue or Fire (in some parts of the country), many people just do not realise how difficult it is, just to get to a station and then start to prepare for a rescue.
