I know what you mean! But I think I would rather look a **** stuck in a ditch when I know I can get pulled back out!
If you do go it alone make sure you walk the track first, I got caught out once driving down a nice little byway, gently heading down hill into a V-Gully, no where to turn around and unable to reverse back out, had to keep going and found that the byway was half blocked by a cottage wall and a deep ditch! Took hours to bridge the ditch with some fence posts and creap forward then move the posts. Only had to go 50 yards!
Also pack some recovery kit. Spade, rope, shackels etc!
