I think William's attitude to this is spot on - in fact we could all learn from it ( and that is the reason he posted it I suspect )
There are going to be situations where we get caught without the right recovery gear - even the most experienced of us.
He assessed the risks, made good judgements, used what he had, knowing that if it went pear shaped he could call in help.
Plus it makes good entertainment for us without actually having to get dirty :wink:

Thanks Wayne, I'm glad you see it the way I do A lesson learnt, with a ton of fun and no harm done.

Getting dirty was half the fun :wink: Happy you enjoyed it and I'll be looking to do more trip reports early next year

The driver failed to follow one of the basic rules of puddle bashing, if in doubt, poke it with a stick :lol: :lol: It's hard to believe people can get bogged there seeing as its mostly gravel and probably only 30cms deep (I'm guessing)! I too wonder what they were thinking going through that puddle, but I'm more interested in what they were thinking after they got bogged. You know... the "Ah 5#!7" moment. LOL :lol: :lol:

The water was nearly upto the bonnet. I could only see the top part of the tyres. Maybe he thought he could just dodge the road closed signs and make fun of the display boards. :roll:

Haha, take a photo next time! Better yet, take your prado in there and post a video on how it's done! You've got fellow PPointers down the road if you get bogged :mrgreen: :lol:
