Rip-off recovery
Xtremeteam:
--- Quote from: "defenderdan" ---So this recovery was being overseen by Vince cobley "off road guru" (to quote LRO) A kinetic recovery was attempted when imo the motor was too stuck for this to work, and somebody was stood on the vehicles bonet at the time. Disaster in the making. :roll:
--- End quote ---
that kinda sums up my view but what i think aint suitable to post,been doing rally recovery for years,done kerr recovery for long enough & now doing hard winching & that has got to be the most dangerous thing ive seen in a while,i cant think of anyway to put it apart from "does the guy on the bonnet have a death wish"? & does a name overtake knowledge & control??

accsidants happen dont they
defenderdan:
There is nowt more to be said! The recoverys overseer was named already in a previous post and i haven't tried to lay blame anywhere.
I'll shut up now.
rokcrawlin:
Well kids upon hindsight it would have been a lot more sensible to have made the winching decision and done a triple line pull as the vehicle and mud I was trying to recover probrably weighed in at about 4 tonnes of resistance and i have done over the 200 recoveries using that cross member and a fair amount of grunt. needless to say I am changing the hybrids arse to have a winch fitted and in future it will only do winch recovery more for the safety factor than the ease of use.......cheers for the offer Drum but i am a little far south for the offer to be taken up, but will be more than willing to show you the lanes round here within an 80 mile radius pete

I think with hindsight Pete, there are alot of things that we would have done differently on the day. I can name half a dozen things we did wrong as a group, I didn't stop any of it from happening, and really it only focuses the mind when something like that happens. I think we all learnt lessons, and lets not play the blame game.
I wish I'd know it was you I was talking to, when were there. We've got the 90 running now, but it ain't right :cry:
