konabikes11 yes mate my big fat arse went through it the other day Embarassed

Zag, just up the road Chester...Iv'e known about this lane for sometime but never drove it and as i was up there thought i'll give it a go.... what a big mistake i got half way up and all the time thinking i should not be here on my own Whistle the truck was just getting deeper and deeper to the point i could not go forward or backwards Big Cry
got out looked in the back for the winch remote...NOT there Shocked..in the end i got loads of branches under the wheels and just nailed it backwards till i got to the road...never again will i go off road on me own.... lesson learnt NEVER TAKE LIFE SERIOUSLY. NOBODY GETS OUT ALIVE ANYWAY

Worked on a farm when I was 14. Used to get stuck every now and then in a tractor when towing a heavy trailer, could take a while to walk back and get help and pull another tractor from it's duties to get pulled out... Boss not to happy Whistle Great fun though when your that age rotavating fields, ploughing....badly Whistle and muck spreading Twisted Evil Dead piglets were best, they would come out with a thump and fly right up in the air Shocked

Did the same in an old Skoda, had to pull the choke out so the engine would rev enough to drive the spinning wheels, run to the back to push then jump in before it drove off on it's own.....as you say you learn the hard way Rolling Eyes
