To be fair we all have to start somewhere - perhaphs thats the incentive they needed to get to learn about the diff lock. It's difficult to tell if the diff was actually locked (I doubt it was) because the wheel could be spinning on the opposite side.

A little low box wouldn't have gone amiss either.

On the bright side even the cluessless can recover themselves and the Polish guides on a bad day  :lol:

an LR experience Defender ...  sliding around on what's basically wet grass, people stepping over winch straps.  And a ratchet strap for recovery?  Puh-leeze!


Little girl has some sense "this is not a good idea At All!".  

Is it me or does she look like Maddie McCann?

Sadly every blonde haired little girl looks like Maddie at the Mo. I think it's wishful thinking.

As for the Landy is it not just a silver defender with the stickers on.

All the gear no idea springs to mind.

Did someone oil his tyres?


If he'd used the ratchet strap to winch the car bit by bit, he'd have been out quicker.
