View attachment 199320 View attachment 199320 Well I went and got it out !
The ground was extremely boggy! I aired the tyres down at the bottom of the slope but could not even move more than a couple of meters before sinking in. First job , winch up the 100 ft high bank . I honestly don't think you would have got a 4wd tractor up its very steep and the ground is just falling away . I would think there's every chance you would roll it .
Anyway ,got to the top of the bank on a solid ish bit of bog and set up for the pull . The disco was proper bogged down and had a flat battery So set up for a double line pull with snatch block ,5t slings and 4.5 t bow shackles.I put a 3 t sling on the recovery points bridle fashion.
My 90 was secured to a tree behind with another 5 t sling to the NATO hitch.
It took about 1 hour of winching to drag the disco a hundred feet or so and get it back on solid ground.
Sorry there aren't many pics, I was a bit busy and muddy !
All in all quite a fun day . Nice to meet a fellow forum member too

Some pics

Thanks all for the nice comments

Well done, was worried you were getting buggered in the woods and walking home

Looked like an interesting dead pull of a stricken Land Rover in a boggy wood.

Glad that it went according to plan.

Excellent work well done, no doubt a promotion to the LZIR snatch Squad is in the pipeline for this

Extremely generous and selfless of you especially given the distance from you.

Q. Why is there a blue plastic R2D2 watching your every move?

Grrrrrr · Jan 31, 2020

The Snatch Squad? Isn't that how that guy died in The Meaning of Life?

There’s only one “snatch” squad peeps on here are interested in.... and that ain’t anything to do with recovery! Mud and ropes maybe

How do the pheasants get the lid off?

Flossie · Feb 2, 2020

Oh..hang on, I've got it!
While the pheasants are gathered around the drum discussing amongst themselves the best course of action to remove the lid you sneak up behind them and bust a cap in their asses yeah?

Knappster · Feb 2, 2020

Well done. Thanks for the pics and update too. That ground looks proper boggy!

Kindness isn't restricted to just other Landy owners either.
The other week as i was crawling home from work on tickover in my D2 with a knackered throttle position sensor(THANKS LAND ROVER FOR DROPPING THE CABLE) a nice guy in bright yellow Seat Leon pulled over in front of and asked if i was out of fuel and if i was he would have gone and got some for me. Given that this was about half eleven at night i thought he was especially nice!

Coooool.

I’d forgotten all about this one.

You’ve all done very well. Carry on
