when the mud gets deep

If the mud gets too deep you should question whether you should be driving the lane :wink:

And bare in mind you are in norfolk / suffolk and its mostly sandy soil so very little mud unless we've had a tsunami too. For the sake of keeping lanes open, if any are in a bad state of repair to the point where you think you would need muds to get through, turn back, make a note of the lane location and call the ROW office monday to report it and they will get it sorted

I've just got tyres on ,mine, they're black with some tread on, I put enough air in them so they're not flat on the bottom and they seem to work ok. You can probably gather I'm quite casual about most things, well, everything really.

Mk.I Trooper is only 1850 Kg's ... so you lot are heavier than me (I think). ... I will just float over the puddles. I have AT's but benefit from rear LSD and manual hubs. As drift says if we think we cannot do it then turn around and head back. Also I will note GPS locations of any/all lane damage.

See ... thats my sensible head on :D
