“After a fair bit of grunting, we managed to free the Mini Cooper from the snow drift. In the company of a team member, the lady’s partner was able to drive the safer way around to our base to be reunited with his partner.
“We wish the lady all the best and no doubt they will be telling the story of their predicament for some time to come.”
