we did try ground anchor but there was too much mud backed up under the front of the disco to move it

alot of winching was done on the day which all added to the enjoyment

That's proper stuck

I thought I was a masochist for finding the technical challenge of recovering a vehicle as much part of the fun, but clearly not.

Did the Defender behind have similar issues? or did it take the escape route, as it were?

Was wondering that myself.

that was my mate jase behind he tried the punch to the right of me but couldnt get up the hill but he didnt take the route thru the mud,but still had to winch up the hill

we use the pay n plays to practice and polish up on winch and recovery situations,no point taking the easy option as anyone could do that

He's frum Wilts they all have a differing number of digits, so they count their wheels by looking at the landy. If it's leaning on an angle it's got 3 wheels if it's nose or arse is in the air. It got 2wheels & if I can get into it it's got no wheels..

Have you joined your straps with a shackle?

I was under the impression this was a NO NO and you should loop them through one another with somthing suitable such as long grass, towel etc to stop them binding together?
