Help!! Stuck in the woods, West Berks!

[sprogthedog]

Decided to move some fallen trees this morning, but have become beached on an un-seen tree-stump.
My mate has gone to get some tools and bits, but I was wondering if there's anyone local who wants to come and help/point/laugh.

Photo's will be forth-coming later.
I'm gonna text MHM now, and see what he says.

[sprogthedog]

Near Newbury. RG20-ish.


Up-date help might be here!!

 

[martin1512]

Just out of my area, but will be able to help if needed, but it will take about 90 mins to get there.

Im surr WLM is on the plain today.

Has he fixed his rear diff now then?

 

[Fatboy11]

I hope so ! Lol

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

No idea, but he whined at not being called out last time..... So any LZIR from the borders to Italy.... Wlm will be called .

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

Panic over .

 

[sprogthedog]

Right, I'm home...

What had happened was, the Landy had got stuck on a big fallen tree-branch, then had slid onto another big branch which had a large "up-right" bit. This "up-right" bit got itself in-between the rear of the front diff, and the sump...The result was I could move neither forward nor backwards.

Phil, my mate, went off with my Mrs to get some tools and a jack and stuff. As he was coming out of his house, another of his friends was going past in their Disco...

Phil roped them in to help.

We jacked up the front of my Landy, and placed logs under the front wheels to clear the "up-right" and gently towed it out back-wards.

Piccies to follow later, when I've had my lunch.

Forgot to add...

Thank you, to all of those who offered to help, and MHM for his quick replies to my texts.:doh::clap2::clap2::tea::tea:

The Offending Bit of tree. The braken was up to the level of the bonnet, and in the picks, has been flattened by me and Phil trying to get me out!

 

[The Mad Hat Man]

nothing a chainsaw wouldnt cure

 

[sprogthedog]

That was my first thought.

I first phoned my tree-surgeon friend, who also has 110 with a winch, but hes was at his parents for lunch.

 

[johnny curt 1]

[The Mad Hat Man]

[johnny curt 1]
