Had a run out with Gary as per his post a while back and all was going well until we bumped into the AA and a rather unhappy woman whose satnav had taken her down a lane which as gary will confirm would have been a fair one to go up in the troopers let alone down in a vx corsa !

Being the perfect gent Gary went to her rescue along with me !

The AA man is probably still thinking its a dream .

Would have been a few more pics but I was busy driving (not getting stuck ) so as not to let southern shandies off road inc down . Smile

Having a warm up before meeting Gary .

Gary adjusts his snorkle on the bank .

Winching the car back using a snatch block and Garys waffle boards. It drove away fine later .

I enjoyed myself and got loads of tips of Gary who is welcome back anytime . Smile

Nice work lads.

Does beg the question again as to how can people listen to their satnavs so much and rely on them that would lead them to that kind of predicament. No common sense, and I do start to question there judgement as to wether they should be allowed on the road.

Thats just crazy, how did she manage that!

If you'd of seen this lane you'd be impressed how far she got!!!!! we got it out with minor scratches and a few scrapes to the underside!
I really enjoyed the eve out and advise anyone to go out laning round here, i will say don't do it in a standard truck or a shiny, some of these are modded only lanes as they're deeply rutted and have some interesting side slopes Very Happy

i'll be back Twisted Evil

Cheers again Simon Very Happy

Ha ha this reminds me my mate went camping in Norfolk recently and he has a lowered Mk2 Golf thats about an inch of the ground and he said one night they went to a pub for dinner and his sat nav sent him down what he described as a farmers track with rutts and pot holes and every time he hit one his car jumped out of gear, he wasnt impressed...
