Just for a change - one from inside the stricken vehicle!!  This was just as forward momentum ceased.  The guy who was driving asked "What do we do now?"  To which I replied in a cool collected voice (and I have the video to prove it!)  "Panic - and then we get our feet wet"

Unfortunately no one was around to take a phote from outside!

My contribution is a V8 110 Ex-MOD sat on its axles in a clay kind of substance.

A Farm Jack, Sand ladders, electric Winch, hand winch and shovel all would have been good to get us out IF WE HAD THEM.

Four hours digging with a very small shovel and then a walk in the dark to the local farmer,  Ã‚£50.00 and an enormous tractor got us out.

An early greenlaning lesson learnt!!!

The photo was taken from solid ground.........
