    'tis just a wicked rumour, honest. Just finished getting most of the mud off and out of the truck. What a job! Have come to the conclusion nearly 3T of truck and that mud ain't a good mix as even the muds turn into slicks pretty quick.
    aint that the truth a bunch of us got stuck in c404s paj out there once

    At least I managed to get the old beast going using some of the building materials, then get the other vehicle moving. Still had the hand winch in the boot, along with a few other tricks. Thought for a moment I was in for my second extraction.

    Good thing is it was easy to see where we were going. Actually keen to bag some more swans this year too, they're very good eating.
