That Moggy looks a handy bit of kit. What's the story?

 

[Chas]

Oh dear, what happened there?

 

[chapel gate]

me happened here im afraid. winter tyres dont work very well in the shed..

the drive slopes towards the fence and the snow was compacted and polished. one of those situations where the more you try to move, the closer you slide in the wrong direction. if i was in a motor i wasnt bothered about probable could of got it out, but sitting against that fence was causing damage. so decided to pull it away and off the fence.
the bottom strap is attached to the unimog chassis with a ratchet, as the crane doesnt have much guts when slewing.

I bet you've had some very pretty snow scenes over there for the last for weeks Mike so not all bad I guess....

Discretion is the greater part of valour , how many trucks died because someone wouldn't hang their head and seek assistance from the next guy who spent a small fortune on the kit to facilitate a rescue - he wants to play with his toys

OUCH!!! hope it wasn't much more than the broken taillight in the pic!

Unlucky Mike!

yeah weve had a few, not been a good couple of years for the white stuff though tbh. for the record i love a proper winter. id be happy with minus 6 and plenty of snow for 2 months solid! had plenty of decent winter walks.
