    True Story

    Mate and his son were riding in this area back in 2001. Son had an old bike, of course it broke down. Too hard to tow out, too far to push it. They hid the bike, dad doubled son back to vehicle and they went home.

    Rang a friend up with Double Cab 4 X 4 who agreed to go in with them to pick the bike up. Wife and daughter thought they would go for the ride.

    They got in there, found the bike, put it on back, driving out they rolled the 4 X 4. Luckily no one hurt, a couple of them were quite shocked.

    Dad had to run out for help, Police had to be involved to go in and get them all out!

    Pampa, I had 3 goes myself with the wheels up hill and sliding in the mud till I spun the bike down hill. I was hoping a quad may come along but alas it didnt.
    It was good fun rolling in a Bavarian Mud Wallow.

    Regrettably we weren't there to help, almost take same track though. I'm quite pleased with the ride despite of the couple of times I didn't do the right thing , I would've expected to struggle more considering how slippery it was. Are u OK now or still sore?

    Cheers,
    Pablo
