A few of us carry recovery gear of some sort or another so recovery shouldn't be too much of an issue.
I should have some decent recovery points by this trip too. Gonna be fitting front and rear shackle points hopefully next weekend. Better than looping my straps around front chassis legs like I've been doing.
Do you remember that Sandy lane around frensham pond? I went down there a few nights ago (short cut) and someone had there defender well and truly stuck in the water hole. Buried up to the axles. Had to use my high lift jack, get waffle boards under the wheels and tow it out. Damaged a strap doing it too

added an hour to my trip
