Had a good day and a few fails.

Was extremely deep and only one person made it through all day.

Failed at this too

Hey looks like good fun, having a go is the main bit.

That slop in the first video looks pretty tough, I doubt much but something like ricks motor with dumper tread would have gone through.

What tyres you running?

All looks like good fun, the steep hill could have been done, needed to backup with speed and hit it again

I know its a bit "you should of seen the one that got away" but earlier in the day I had been over the steep hill, but then water got dumped in it and fail.
Pic sort of shows the gloop in the big holes.
My tyres are 205/80/16 Bridgestone Desert Duallers, but are getting a bit low
