Couldn't you drive back over your ladders - Ray Mears style?
Or used Discounts electric reel to winch your way back to safety?

[Paul Coleman]

Looks lovely.  I've lived in a town all my life.  Convenient but not so pleasing to the eye.  Not as much mud either    .  Hope you get it sorted soon.

You got that lovely van all dirty!!

[RO-Sheen]

keep a bit of carpet underlay in the van. If it happens again you can wedge it under the tyre before reversing.

As my son is suffering from a severe bout of idleitus, my wife volunteered to help me launch my inflatable boat. I only wanted a hand as far as the mud, I can slide it to the water from there.
When we reached the mud, for some reason she carried on going, now her size 3 feet may look good in a pair of stilettos, but my size 13 are much better for walking on mud.
She took 3 strides and was stuck, I had the heavier back end and couldn't stop in time, over she went, flat on her face, thank God she thought it was funny.
I hate mud, especially when it's nearly up to your knees, no AA man to help me yesterday, couldn't of managed without my Mrs though.
Nothing to do with window cleaning I know, just thought I would make you smile.

Yep; simple.

Nice view by the way.

[NWH]

That`s happened to me before and i lost about 3 hours,all i did was go into the grass about 2 feet and that was enough to get me stuck,never again when fully laden with water.

[geefree]

My Transits the same.... i often take a corner a little too fast in the wet... i i feel the front wheels losing it....

or when i pull away , out of a junction i nearly do a boy racer squeal..!!

what a day

well i rang aa when i posted this

they came like 3 hours later

guy got here and got the tow truck stuck, i was like this is a joke, spinning all up my drive couldlt get it up

get out and he says "you do realise this is going to be an extra charge"

i was like i hope your kidding ive got the full full cover

he said "yeh sorrry mate"

i was fuming, not at him cause he was sound "right how much?"

"£50 + VAT"

some choice words and "im not paying that mate"

hes like "yeh sorry..."

but fairplay to him he said look ill help you out but we cant use the truck, and he helped for aa hour diggin me out and pushing, we were covered in mud finally heaved it out in the end, after an hour of being in the cold, rain and mud, not a good day in the end to be honest! gave the guy £20 cause fairplay he didnt have to help me

but why pay the extra to have full cover when they say "this is a extra charge" they never said that on the phone

bad day...

[cat9921]

That looks like welsh mud to me mat  we ( Rule britannia )dont get that problam

It serves you right for having a better van than me

[AuRavelling79]

I've been pulled out twice in the last year by the RAC - same spot each time. And on the phone they said if we need special equipment (whatever that is) there will be a charge. I was confident they wouldn't as my van was only two metres from hard standing.

They turned up in less than an hour both times and got my van free in seconds.

Always had good service from the RAC.

[geefree]

Ah yes, there are some downsides to living in the country i suppose.... free water though.

[kevin James]

Wheres that mud! Let me at that mud!
