Remember that lane we did on the 2nd day, well went up there today as theres a TRO closure on it for a few months because of tree felling along the way. Well it's got worse within a month.

Got proper stuck, Even with another vehicle pulling from the side no budging it. Beached on axles/diffs. Had to jack the back up then front. Put rocks under wheels and dug the diffs out.

Good work Fez, could have been nasty though eh ?
Maybe time we developed a good DIY ground anchor :thumbs
 
Wasn't too bad I've been in far worse, this was a piece of piss compared to other stuck moments. :naughty

Bank helped in some ways but hindered in others. Made the whole end jack up instead of one side as the left back wheel was so tight to the bank.

All of the work involved, As i was putting away a small fold out spade in the back I put my back out :(
 
interesting, shame about your back, hope it's not long lasting, ground anchor sounds interesting too, have you a design in mind Pete, Rick
 
It was proper beached, I think winching up would of broken something and because the lane is lower than the banks the rope could snag.

I've got a boat anchor that are cheap in my shed, Going to see how well it performs as a winch anchor. Folds down a bit too.

I saw the must unlikely design for one at a pay n play while back. I'll try and find the picks, but I was impressed as it got him out of the doo doos in pretty soft ground :D
