Sorry to see that.
You obviously have signal so would not a call to your proper recovery company be prudent - you got ADAC?
I hope it gets sorted soon.

Come on then. What happened? Looks a bit slippy. I reckon you might need a tractor. Im an expert at getting stuck. Hope you get sorted soon.

He came back . Big fat rope . Out we slithered ...
We are pretty good at getting stuck too . Himself is slightly in the dog house though ... Don’t go off the edge , I said Yeah yeah , he said ... Splot
But worse , he didn’t have the proper tow rope in the back cos it had been used for a different job and not put away . Story of his life . Drives me nuts .

Glad you and the MH are out of the shit, even if some is still sticking to Robbie
I suppose the 'donation' was a few bottles.
Any damage? skirt etc.?

Glad your out. I have an industrial strength length of ratchet strap with hooks on the end which can either be looped over the tow bar at the back or hooked on the massive great industrial strength towing eye I had welded to the front of the van.

Wise precautions Oh Master considering Hank's propensity to break something.

No clue if there is any damage . He doesn’t really give a shit as long as it works and drives ok 🙂 The most neglected bus as usual .
We are now in Nove Mesto. Biathlon starts tomorrow . So far we have 2 Czech buses for company . The welcome committee have been round ( though not speaking any language we understand ) . They have switched on a genny just for us ( not needed did not get through ) 🙂. I think we will be fine here til Sunday .

I had to have Hank towed backwards by the two ball once right across a field which was basically a bog one Christmas. People were telling me on FUCTS it would knacker the chassis and I stressed for days about it but it was fine. Thats when I got the feck off great towing eye welded on the front which works as when the suspected wheel bearing went in France the breakdown guy dragged it up by it at an impossible angle with feck all to stop it rolling away across the Pyrenees if it gave way.
