Read about that this morning - they were full of wondering how it would be recovered. Simple: find a route up the hill that doesn't have undergrowth on and drive/winch it up!

And everyone said that a Freelander couldnt cope offroad!!! hehe

I think the most important thing here is that no-one was hurt.

They didnt mention the owner though, do u think they are still in hiding??? lol
