I shouldnt have done it, but i was driving home and i wondered if i could actually drive across it.
Near side front and offside rear spining like a bastard.
Luckily, using the tools to hand (Socket Set Box, Tool Box, and a Cordless drill box ) i managed to get out of it!!
Will I ever learn?

nice cross-axle demonstration.
FWIW, yer angle of approach is not quite right - you need to try for only 1 wheel in the ditch at a time.
I suspect that a very specific level of momentum is also a good idea - too much speed, and you might damage things, take it too slowly and you give it a chance to stop if it wants to.
well done for improvising an escape though.

Silly boy!
Mark Solesbury vaguely muttered something like ...
Haven't you done this before ? ISTR a similar series of RRC photo's from some time ago ..
Ive never got stuck before
How not to cross a ditch! :)
Mark Solesbury vaguely muttered something like ...
LOL, so you keep trying until you do then ?
Sounds like most Landie owners I know .. ;)
you got out of that using a cordless drill?
or did you just jam the toolbox under one of the spinning wheels?
Regards. Mark.(AKA, Mr.Nice.)
Maybe he dismantled the Range Rover and re-assembled it 20 feet back from the ditch ?

You Win.
Mark.,
Well you'd have to give it another go wouldn't you !
There's no way I'd let a poxy ditch like that stop Solihulls finest... and with a 20 foot run up you'd get through.
cheers
