skinny malinky ones on the army landies, and it was always the rear end that got stuck. Got standard size colway AT on mine but still working on it at the minute to make sure it's not gona break down. Sent the forms off to slroc and hopefully get some safe education off road cause I'm a learner, and that's why I'm here I guese. looked up waffel boards etc seems you can get plastic type for about 30 quid. making the anchor at the minute and will give it a shot but not sure how well it works with a turfir sounds like a lot of turfin.

Is it a hand winch you have and if so could you tell me the best way to tirfor yer way out, although it sound like easy peasy I doubt if it actually is. I'm gona try my home made anchor some where with the tirfor but theres no substitute for experience and I guess theres lots of mistakes to make. looking at a swingaway pulley seems cheap and useful what you think.

practice with your tirfor using a tree strop and shackles 1st. til lyou get used to it. your going to get knackered using a ground anchor and tirfor 
their mainly designed for fixed winches.
swingaways are very useful for changing the direction of pull, but again you will need tree strops and shackles. using a double line pull might work with a hand winch, but i dont know how effective they are as ive never used one.
get out laning with the club and when you get stuck. people will help you get out and you learn from that.
this weekend i watched a series 3 getting lifted out of ruts by a hi-lift

Whereas swingaways are dirty weekends away for like-minded couples interested in sharing each other.

I did look at swingaways and the first google result was this www.swingaways.co.uk/
Did you mean snatch block? - there is a swingaway version.

if you look closely you will see that the two slappers in the vehicle are wearing PITH helmets.
This name came about as a result of a Belgian with a lisp explaining why he wore such a hat in the jungle.
its has to do with the ability of the wearer being able to walk freely about under trees where monkies might be.
the wearing of the hat stops the monkies from being able to ****, or as the Belgian sed pith on your head

...Sirus' search for snatches went down very badly at work, the other monks said the only snatches they got round the monastery were when the swingaway club came to confess...

hmmm, nice bird on the front page of that website!
Good links to the Michelin site from Widget. Concise and to the point.
I'd take a little issue with always using L1 for a descent and never use the clutch. It's a tricky one.
In UK we're inavariably encountering wet/muddy slopes. So the danger of sliding or the back end coming round is greater. (In my linited experience the norm!) Accelerating to get out of this situation might be a tad tricky in Low 1st. So knowing you will be sliding can argue for selecting a higher gear in the first place. If something happens fast then a dip of the clutch can result in a fast correction - But you will be in deep **** if you cannot re-engage. But then, if you can't accelerate out of your slide in L1 then you are going to have to dip the clutch to grab a higher gear anyway..... Another experience call I'm afraid.
