The boards are an idea if you can get it on them. I have known people use old carpet rolled out over the mud. Anything to get traction. It would also give you a chance to get under it to fit ropes.

Worth taking a few shovels to level center ruts out and save the body bits.

As so many have said, if it wasnt so far I would be happy to lend a hand.

Wish I had seen this post earlier, could have lent a hand. Think I would have tried to use the tirfor winch on this first. That goo looks erm....well gooey. One vehicle stuck can soon become two vehicles stuck.

Its handy alright, have winched myself and a landrover sideways back onto a woodland track after a little slip. Great for getting trees to fall where you want them to aswell (as in not on peoples houses).

I have something similar, called a Griphoist T.15 with a single line capacity of 1650lbs

I've only used it to pull out a tree stump from a neighbours garden, but it does come laning with me on occasions.
