Report: Classic. Went to take Annaleigh on a bogan road trip. Shot some clays, then went offroading. Unfortauntely the tracks were a little more slippery than i had imagined. Slid up Rouch rd, then got to a cross roads, and decided to take one down. Not sure if it was Joes Spur Tk or Carson Tk or Rouch Rd? Anyhow, went down and halfway i knew it was game over. No way would i have been able to reverse back up or chuck a u-ey, as it was too slippery, even with the cooper st's (which arent much in this stuff).
As there was little choice, decided to keep going down hill but of course slid straight into the flowoff embankment. With further effort on trying to exit i became deeper en-lodged. Time to get the shovel. That didnt do anything. Made the call the ditch the car and walk to the nearest main road to get dad to help me out (thanks dad!). The plan was to get the car the next morning as it was 6pm and starting to get dark.
Then as Annaleigh was walking back up the hill with the map, she heard a beast of a car come rubling along. Then came Jason in his GQ Partol, classic. "Do you have a winch?" she said as she flagged him down. Obviously he did, as his 150% muddies were protruding out the wings of his car. Then he decided to travel down the same track as i did, but he did it with ease as he hugged the right side. Then turned around at the bottom and proceeded to help winch us out!!
Epic, and saviour!
