Not far from the Claerwen Reservoir in wales Paul.

We pulled over to the side to let a group of bikes past and there was a 'soft spot".  One stuck 110 was the result. I went to walk round the front to help  and found out the soft spot went on for about another 6ft in front of the 110  :oops:
I only stepped off the path about 18"  :roll:

Edit>Mukky  I was the car in front of the 110 that got stuck and somehow missed it. Although Karen was silly enough to have the window open and looking out as I pulled off and got a face full of mud for her troubles (and I learnt a few new swear words as well)

Thats the only problem with peat bog, it sucks you in and is hard to get out, i take it the bikers didnt hang around to offer assistance..
Good picks though. :D

to be fair to the bikers they wouldnt have known as he only sank as he tried to move forward off the verge. I had gone 200 yds before someone yelled out to stop.

Besides, we had had a good laugh at another group as they tried to get round him earlier

:shock: I must admitt, when i first ventured out by myself when i first got into Greenlaneing. Its a bit unnerveing when you are suddenly approached by upto 20 bikers trying to get past you on a narrow lane.. at 30mph.  :evil:

Talking of "soft verges", my wife is French and when she first saw the signs Beware Soft Verge she started howling with laughter. Apparently verge in French means willy!!
