me or my little brouther. i am the goog looking one :D it was so water loged and the tree so shallow routed that the earth around it washed away and it fell over the byway. no option but to cut it. where the discovery got stuck i have never seen it so deep, nothing got through under its own power. was a good day out.

Rather than turn around and back track people who arnt up for the water bit we did have cut another track into the forest to the left off the byway. This will be the next lane to be closed around our way you just wait and see, its ashame as its the best one left after they have closed the very best one already. The fella who took the video rang me this afternoon about something else and i did warn him that if the authorities saw it (and these things do get reported) than the vehicles driving the lane illegally would be crushed..... Jake and I saw some Landrovers driving all over the heather today on that sandy section we had lunch t the other week too :roll:
