24/7 recovery in and around Backaland
Backaland sits in the northern-eastern part of Orkney Islands; the nearest sizeable centres are Aberdeen (~141 mi south), Dundee (~186 mi south), Edinburgh (~222 mi south); there is no motorway close by, so we run in on the A-roads and local routes.
Because of its more rural location and distance from the motorway network, a realistic arrival window for Backaland is ~40–75 min once a truck is dispatched.
We cover Backaland and the roads out toward Veness (~1 mi south-east), West Side (~2 mi north-west), Mill Bay (~4 mi north), Guith (~4 mi north), Stove (~4 mi north-east), so help is rarely far from wherever you have stopped — roadside, car park, driveway or private land.
