Ohh.....Crap......I've got some explaining to do

Joking aside, looked a great day, I'm hoping me truck will be as capable when finished

solarman216 · 28-07-2013, 21:42

yes it was a good day, as I left I saw a landi on its side against a tree with the marshals looking, hope they got him out OK, I did not stop as had dinner appointment, now you look after zenka, Rick

exosteve · 28-07-2013, 21:44

looks like hard work.
drive into mud winch out

.
Id rather not have to use a winch at all but have one for emergencies for greenlining.

solarman216 · 28-07-2013, 21:48

Nah, getting into sticky stuff and winching is what it is all about, but have to say it is much harder to find the sticky goo at the mo it is all far to dry, I love the mud, Rick

solarman216 · 28-07-2013, 21:54

green laneing is a different thing altogether, I enjoyed our trip to Wales, but to be honest it is not a patch on the problems to be encountered in mud pay and play sites, Rick

exosteve · 28-07-2013, 22:04

not been brave enough to venture there yet. but will one day.
manifold valley I went today the dry riverbeds that have been there for as long as I can remember were flooded.
the track I used a while ago was very washed away. but after wales I felt confident enough to tackle it alone.
the rain has been very heavy here for the last 48 hours and more to come.
