Hi Rick,
The best advice I can give you is fit your recovery strap before you get stuck!! Trust me crawling around on your hands and knees trying to locate your rear towing eye in thick mud is no fun
Aside from that just go and have a laugh, Wish I was joining you but wife is away this weekend so I am stuck with the kids..lol If you fancy it though there is a pay and play day at Aston Cantlow in Warwickshire on the 15th that Myself and a couple of others are attending.

Yes thanks for the riminder lads but a pefect example of learning from experiance. I have alread bought a new shacle for the rear towing eye so it will be easier to locate next time. and am thinking of investing in another recovery strap so I can have them attached back and front
