After a six month lay off, (in sympathy of my brother having his Husky stolen) had a day out on the DRZ with a few others and hit the green lanes.
Felt like a complete novice at first and found myself lagging behind at my own pace till I felt confident on the slippery stuff.
Feeling it now mind you.
After a particularly gnarly lane on the way home we came across a black ford fiesta wedged across the lane, progress halted by a fallen tree.
I naturally assumed it had been stolen and dumped ......BUT I shit you not, sat in the drivers seat was a woman who thought she'd take a short cut :eek How the fuck she got it that far I'll never know and apparently she was a school teacher :eek
Rather than reverse until she found a suitable place (about 40-50 meters the way she'd come) to do a 3 point turn, she had tried to do it in a heavily rutted bit with trees and a drop one side and a bank the other.
We managed to straighten her up, reverse it back and turn it around so she could drive it back the way she had come.
Should've took some photos of her predicament to show the level of her Darwinian achievement.
