A red Devon muddy shitpit on a loose shaley base is one of the slipperiest surfaces known to man kind. As someone who got a Land Rover so stuck in the bottom of a valley I seriously considered leaving it there for 6 months until it dried out I speak from experience.

Whilst I feel your pain, working on green sand near Chard at the moment, I would take Devon clay over green sand any day!

Funny enough I was intrigued when I got a LR "stuck" on Sailsbury Plain, in the rain on Smooth chalk with a slick paste of rain soaked chalk flour on top, I might as well have been trying to drive uphill on wet ice.

From someone used to getting "bogged" this was a new experience.

Would that have been a dark green LR, with either Michelin XCL or Goodyear G90 tyres?

• Was it Olive Drab perhaps?, and Yessum, they all looked the same!
• As I found out at Hull docks when embarking for Ex Lionheart in 1982, having wandered off to ogle all the other strange and wonderous Army kit, and clean forgot where my Regiment was parked, let alone my individual LR. Oops!
