For some reason the "Brown Mist" descended upon me, and I was determined that the bombhole on the top track that everyone else had gone around was fair game.

I even had the foresight to get out and check the depth with a stick  Very Happy . Then, having decided the water was relatively deep, and the clay like mud below it was very soft, I decided "What the Hell, let's go for it"

This is what followed.........

Surprise, surprise, she sank straight into it.

Then starts the recovery.......

First with one motor....


Link



Then with two.....(Nice entrance stage right M'Laird  Cool )


Link


Oh well, in for a penny, in for a pound. Oh, watch out for that weak strap Gaz  Shocked .


Link


If Two won't budge it, how about Three ? And just for good luck, let's have the engine die on me for no apparent reason other than it's a 3.0 and its had enough.

After eventually getting all the towing motors turned around ( not an easy task on that mud ), let's pull her out the way she went in.


Link


Hooray !!! Finally She pops out, with half a ton of buildwas clay attached. The last mud that engine is ever going to see  Laughing .

Thanks for all the hard work guys, and a big thanks to Colin for sitting in the drivers seat after I crawled out through the window to attach the tow rope to the back end.

Ho hum, the joys of Off Roading  Razz  Razz  Razz  Cool

Maybe next time you need to crawl out before the bombhole & you may get away without it going in & getting stuck Rolling Eyes  Laughing  Laughing  Laughing

Sorry I didn't try to talk you out of it from the off bud! maybe I had a little too much displaced faith in the Twistymobile Very Happy
