Exactly what I was thinking. You'd be up to your axles in mud here.

I actually made an error there.

It started off fairly firm and driveable, then with one tree to go for the day I hit a soft patch caused by run off from paved gardens.

5m3 of small chip on board, I had to shovel some chip under the wheels for traction.

I will ensure my next truck will have diff lock...

Will need to walk the grass first for the next seance just to be sure.

Drove out to a copse to look at a parcel offered on day rate, blew out the front tyre on a bit of ragstone, swapped for the spare blew that out on another bit of ragstone, had to get the mrs to pick me and the wheel up take me to the tyre place then drive me back to the truck in the morning with what was now the third tyre. I only went to price it up, cost me 180 quid in tyres.

Get yourself some road plates, one of the best investments you can make.

They will last a lifetime. I paid a grand for 22 of these.
