Not this weekend I'm afraid Rick, we've got plans again I'm afraid, doing a lot of round the house jobs and also hoping to finish off my last 3 CCTV cameras on Sunday

When's the next one after this? And how much notice do they give before they cancel one as I wouldn't like to make a 3 hour trip down there to find out it was shut

Picadilly Wood is the first Sunday of every month

Slidon Safari is the second Sunday every month

Slindon Valley is the forth Sunday every month, (not very interested in this one)

They do not get cancelled, but clearly I cannot do them all, Rick

I am all sorted and ready for tomorrow, have a sexy winch bitch as company so will be back with some good pics and poss vids tomorrow, Rick

Ok well after winching out a couple of stuck motors within minutes of arriving, had a wander round and found the place I got well and truly stuck last time and it had dried out and some lumber had been placed in the ruts, so no good, hunted on and found this, yep straight in there and well and truly stuck

solarman216 · 12-05-2019, 21:59

Found the rope

solarman216 · 12-05-2019, 22:02

Starting to set the ground anchor, had offers of vehicle to winch to but declined as wanted to test it under real conditions

solarman216 · 12-05-2019, 22:07

All pins in

solarman216 · 12-05-2019, 22:11

Start of the pull, and was it heavy, short bursts to let the slurry drain back and give the winch a rest, I was on the drum so max pull

solarman216 · 12-05-2019, 22:15

Need to pull to the right to stop OSF going into solid mud wall, so introduced a block on the line from a distant tree

solarman216 · 12-05-2019, 22:18

G. A. never moved even though the angle of pull has changed

Exellent bit of kit Rick.

solarman216 · 12-05-2019, 22:25

Thought the angle change might have moved it but no it held fast

solarman216 · 12-05-2019, 22:27

Nearest tree for block

solarman216 · 12-05-2019, 22:29

Still a hard pull
