front out, had to give the winch a hand with a bit of traction

nearly there, but had to spend a bit of time doing a more robust repair to the electrics in case we met further winch challenges as it happens we got every where in 4 wheel no probs, Rick

Do you often winch with the bonnet up?

Good protection though, having seen those other videos!!

bonnet was only up cos of winch electrics problem and I use dyneema which does not recoil, but is susceptible to sharp stones, Rick

This is normal, it waits until the most important moment until it breaks

I must admit it looks very, very stuck

I would have waited for the next season to get that out

No Sarah was there, she took the pics while I was faffing around, I did comment to her on the way back that we forgot to take a pic or two of her, never mind next time, Rick
