How to thrive on a non 240v site!

We arrived in drizzle and  did have a fair bit of rain whilst there. The field, although fairly level, is at the top of a hill so I deduced that gravity would do its thing. I took the precaution of putting track mats under all the wheels and we did sink a bit, particularly the front axle. Had I not done so, backing out of the trough might have induced wheelspin. How do you lot think the 7th Armoured Division got on?

complete opposite on the CL we were at last year. Large A Class drove onto the wet field, pointed down the hill & tried to reverse into position ... needless to say the driven wheels (FWD) just span and she would've continued to spin up to her axles if she'd not been stopped. Despite the huge field, she'd not left enough room between her & the hedge to get the farmer's tractor in, so the poor farmer had to crawl under the back to get his towing strap onto her rear axle. And she still needed guidance of how to steer when being dragged backwards. 🙄

Clueless springs to mind!

Maybe the tracks help

I think they did good. . .In the desert. . .Which is dry. . .Without rainfall. I’m struggling with the comparison here🤔🤷🏻‍♂️
