Going to suggest that everyone puts an entry on mobile phone as is common called ICE (In Case of Emergency) and obviously phone numbers in the entry.

Happy in the meantime to come along collecting broken down cars and hats, but only when in boring road cars.

Another option is to have a "buddying" on run outs.

Yes cheers Richard. I have added my ICE tonight.

ICE - In Case of Emergency

Eight out of ten people aren't carrying information that would help if they were involved in an accident. Storing next-of-kin details in your mobile phone can assist the emergency services if you're unable to tell them who to contact.

How does it work?
Simply use your mobile's phone book to store the name and number of someone who should be contacted if you have an emergency – but add the letters ICE in front of their name.

ICE stands for 'In Case of Emergency': it's what the emergency services will look for if you're involved in an accident and have your mobile phone with you. This straightforward idea was developed by the East Anglian Ambulance Trust.

Getting started
On most mobile phones you simply need to select 'Contacts' and choose 'Add New Contact', then enter the letters 'ICE' in front of the name, followed by the telephone number of your next of kin. Make sure you choose a number that's easy to get in touch with – a home number could be useless in an emergency if the person works full time. They recommend that you enter daytime and evening numbers where this is possible.

What should I do next?
Make sure the person whose name and number you are giving has agreed to be your 'ICE partner'. You should also make sure your ICE partner has a list of people to contact on your behalf, such as your place of work. In addition, they'll need to know about any medical conditions that could affect your emergency treatment, including allergies or medication.

Storing an ICE number makes it easier for everyone if you're involved in an accident. It only takes a few seconds, so do it today - please.

In terms of the two may radio, maybe these are the sort of things we are looking for.......

Even the under £20 stuff has a 3km range.

Cheers Kevin.

I like the walky talky idea. Maybe even CB radios. I cant always hear my phone when I'm driving anyway so its only when we reach the destination that I might know something has gone wrong..

Will look into costs and range, Maybe regular meet run out members would like to contribute to a pair, I'm sure I could pick some up trade somewhere.

Thanks for the input.

Phil..

I think this is an excellent idea. Maybe the essential link should be between the first and the last car in the convoy and if you were getting really high tech these two cars could have a walky talky link (ideally with 2no persons in each of these cars).

2 way radio's was something we used on one of the trips I went on with the Bulldog Owners club (20 years ago) I was always at the back as I had a White car and if the lead car could see mine then he knew we were all together in the convoy, the radio was with someone in the middle as it had a very poor range back then but it did keep us together.

['The Gaffer']

Maybe someone has a pair of these already that we could use?

The slightly more expensive ones have a range of 5KM (in ideal conditions) so count on 2-3KM in reality.
