Hilly bits are rare in that part of the world
Hilly bits are usefull to get momentum...that push you through the muddy bits
but if you do get stuck flat bits....LRE teach you not to panic, not to over rev & get more stuck
but do the front <->back rock procedure...it usually works

You can see the weight wasn't going to help but once you get it moving it does help and it looks like the tyres were well clogged by the end of it Smile

Got my D3 stuck in my front garden before Christmas Rolling Eyes

It had been parked on the lawn for a while as building work was going on, slowly sank up to the wheel rim. I'd assumed that with GGATs I would have no problem, but as there was no grip in the sludge the wheels just span. Had to get some stuff out of the skip to get traction, not before I'd redecorated the side of the garage with mud.
