How not to show your mother 4wding

Went down to visit my parents at Tin Can last weekend and decided to take my Mum for a drive
after finding a couple of rutted climbing sections and a small creek crossing I came a across a powerline
track. All was good untill I came across long grass and a very muddy looking track. Now I decided to turn
around and it all went sour from there on.

The ground became a touch slippery and dropped me into the ruts and left me strand high and dry. No winch
and no one else in sight. Back to basic's, Jack it and Pack it (a little digging in between) and hour and a bit later
I finally managed to back out and find an alteranative route. By the way my Mum can't drive either but I had her on
wood patrol.

It's a good ploy to get a winch under the xmas tree!!!

He,he,he, my sympathies, I don't see anything that substantial nearby to attach the winch cable

Maybe some Maxi traxs would have helped get you out quickly.
