Are you OK now? I am in Reading, but have been working today.

Bucklebury Common by chance?

For future reference, my mate and I off-road solo from time in the local area. We make sure one of us is available to get us home.

Call me in the future

All sorted now, had to leave it overnight and walk to a main road to be picked up by a mate. Helpful local farmer tractored me out the following morning Smile

I'll get some pics up later, I didn't think to take any of it stuck but I've got one with it recovered and covered in mud Smile

Stupid thing was I was only doing a recon exercise on a new lane and the left front slipped off the lane into a horrible muddy ditch. Didn't have the recovery gear with me (nor anyone locally) because I wasn't expecting for it to be that kind of lane. Lesson learned...
