nice cross-axle demonstration.

FWIW, yer angle of approach is not quite right - you need to try for only 1
wheel in the ditch at a time.

I suspect that a very specific level of momentum is also a good idea - too
much speed, and you might damage things, take it too slowly and you give it
a chance to stop if it wants to.

well done for improvising an escape though.

Well you'd have to give it another go wouldn't you !

There's no way I'd let a poxy ditch like that stop Solihulls finest...
and with a 20 foot run up you'd get through.
