Note to self!!!!!

When driving up a nice little lane close to home and you come across 2 and 3 foot snow drifts turn around. Don't try and smash through them because a little bit further along you'll find 4 and 5 foot drifts that you won't smash through

Too deep to dig out so select reverse and reverse back for 300 metres until you find a safe place to turn around

"PHEW" didn't fancy walking home.

Nice video.

It was similar to what I went through today, but not as deep, snow dunes!

(yours were deeper)

I went back on foot to where I had been stuck in the drifts this morning, no way would I of been able to get further than I did. Stumbled across a landy 90 stuck with another trying to pull him out. He said he only drove up there because he'd seen tracks from someone else Yes it was me and I got passed the drift he was stuck in

Went back to the car and did the good deed thing and fetched a couple of shovels to help dig him out.

does it count as a good deed helping a Landrover owner?

Be fair...
he did well to get as far as he had, he went to the limit of his vehicle, so it was a good deed, and you can have a laugh at his expense too..

I think you have just invented a snow plough, connect up to a fiesta and steer it into a drift and pull it backwards, really topped off that drift...

Oh dear, bless her. Good of you to help her though.

That cough sounds rasping (hope it clears soon), but not half as bad as them wipers!
